After adopting Claude Code, a team's merged pull requests per week rose sharply, but lead time to production is unchanged and the review queue keeps growing. What is the most appropriate next step?

Answer: D — Treat review as the bottleneck: automated first-pass review in CI, smaller changes, and tracked review turnaround

Output moved to the constraint; (d) targets the bottleneck and measures delivery. (a) reports an activity metric. (b) makes reviews larger and slower. (c) removes the human gate on merges, trading a queue problem for a quality and security risk.
