Which two statements are true about batch size, lead time, and utilization? (choose two.)

a. higher team member utilization leads to longer lead times
b. as batch size increases, lead time decreases
c. large batches move through the system faster
d. batch size is influenced by the product owner, utilization is influenced by the development team
e. there is no direct relationship between lead time and utilization

The answers are b. As batch size increases, lead time decreases and d. Batch size is influenced by the Product Owner, utilization is influenced by the Development Team

Explanation:

Invariably, a larger batch size leads to increase in lead time due to the fact that it will take lesser time to process smaller batches and when there's a larger batch it takes more time. And ultimately, the batch size is influenced by the product owner because he/she determines the sixe of each product batch based on market demand while the development team conducts tests for utilization which guides them in making decisions that influence utilization.

d. to get countries or companies to stop doing something objectionable.
