When examining real workflow data, there's a common pattern: clusters of tasks that have aged significantly, some clearly stagnating beyond recognition acceptable timeframes. These cases point to one of the most important yet very often overlooked metrics in flow management: WIP Aging. WIP (Work In Progress) Aging measures the elapsed time that a work item has … Continue reading Boosting Efficiency with WIP Aging Insights and Tools

Monte Carlo Simulation: Forecasting Throughput and Project Timelines

~ maratkiniabulatov ~ 1 Comment

TL;DR: Forecasting team Throughput is super-easy and much more reliable than traditional methods, if you limit your work in Progress. Reliability confirmed by research data. We've already extensively covered Throughput (one of the flow metrics), how to analyze Throughput data from 3 key angles. And why it's better for forecasting than storypoints. Now let's get … Continue reading Monte Carlo Simulation: Forecasting Throughput and Project Timelines
