Little's Law in plain English: the more work you start, the slower everything gets.

Not because the team got worse. Because the system got fuller.

Reducing work in progress is often more effective than adding capacity. Most teams resist this, starting feels like progress. Finishing is what actually matters.

What's your team's WIP limit?

Schönen 2. Advent uns allen :)

Ich habe mich mal hingesetzt und eine Seite mit 5 interaktiven Modulen so wie Erklärungen zu "Flow" gebaut um die Mechaniken, die wirken, wenn ein Team Software entwickelt an einem Platz zu erklären.

Flow Efficiency, Little's Law, Constraints, Kingman's Formula und WIP Limits...

Frohes neues Jahr! Planung für die nächste Folge (kommt Freitag) ist so weit abgeschlossen. Ich werde mal einen "Deep Dive" zu WiP Limits machen. Entstanden aus dem WiP Limit Simulator...

If there was an immediate, obvious, measureable cost assigned to 'inventory' (= work started but not finished) in knowledge work, I'm quite sure that Software Development would be vastly different than it is today.

Often, business want to start more projects than they can handle. It can be hard in those environments to explain to business people, that by multi tasking, the output of the development organisation, will be reduced.

@michelgrootjans did a great job explaining this effect through simulation:
