Question39: True or False: A Service Level Expectation (SLE) target reflects the Scrum Team's aspirations toward a reliable cycle time.

Question40: To effectively track Work in Progress (WIP), a team should clearly define what it means to have 'started' work and to have 'finished' work. This will typically be included in the Scrum Team's definition of "Workflow" policy.
