Hi Joanie What do you mean by "on deck"? A clear understanding of this might help answer the questions. It feels like it might be part "queue", and part "in ...
Hi Paulio, ... this depends on how you define the name "throughput" or the term "doing well". Do you mean something like "business value created per week" or...
Hi, does the word "one" in the term "one piece flow" mean the same thing as the word "one" in "WIP limit = 1" ? In other words, does a one piece flow always...
Hi All, When playing cards through the board we often come up against the situation where a 3rd party dependency blocks the card. The blockage is beyond the...
Hi folks, I've facilitated the construction of Visual Board for the end-to-end Value Stream for a development organization consisting of multiple component ...
When the dependency is a core part of the value stream, I've had teams create separate wait states for work that is sitting outside the team and blocks them ...
... Measuring velocity it a way of knowing how well a team is getting through their to-do list based on the story points assigned to the "tasks" in hand. So...
Yes thanks I've come around to seeing that I need something that smells very much like velocity. As I mentioned I was thinking about something like that on a...

<<Thanks very much though, although I'm slightly disapointed to having to assign some form of story points there really isn't a practical alternative if I want...

Hello Joanie ... I add more questions : What characterizes a "on deck" item ? How do you work on it ? What standardized results are you awaiting from this work...
Hello Matthias ... "Flow where you can, Pull when you can't" I will add a development workflow to add to what Ged said : suppose you have a {specify, code,...
I've seen a bunch of this over the last year. And I don't have any answers. I've tried leaving it on our board (with a different color), but not counted ...
Hey Ian - ... Maybe there is a (c) here which is creating buffer queue with a WIP limit for that activity. Ultimately, what do you want the board to show you...
Hi Zameh, I'll bring my two cents to this topic. First a short introduction as this is my first post on this forum. I had the pleasure to participate in David...
The closest I have seen to single piece flow is using the XP practice of story swarming where everyone on the team who can work on a story works on it. This...
