The correct selection is D. A virtual Kanban board provides persistent, shared visibility into work in progress, workflow state, and bottlenecks across distributed teams. It is more measurable and transparent than periodic emails, spreadsheets, or representative-only status meetings. From a system-design perspective, the decision should minimize unnecessary coupling while preserving clear ownership, scalability, governance, and extensibility. Salesforce architecture is strongest when boundaries reflect real business and technical responsibilities instead of using organizational convenience as the primary design driver. The rejected designs either centralize too much, fragment without justification, or use a mechanism that does not create the required architectural contract between systems or teams. For this scenario, the decisive point is therefore the platform behavior represented by the selected option (D. Request the offshore teams to share their work in progress in a virtual Kanban board tool.). Applying that rule consistently keeps the implementation aligned with Salesforce-supported lifecycle practices and makes the resulting change easier to review, validate, and operate across environments.
