About this listen

This episode introduces the concept of work-in-progress (WIP) limits as a tool for improving flow and reducing multitasking. Learners discover how limiting concurrent work prevents bottlenecks, shortens cycle time, and improves predictability. The session explains that WIP limits apply at multiple levels, from individual contributors to teams and portfolios.

Examples highlight PMI exam scenarios where excessive parallel work slows delivery. The correct approach involves applying WIP limits to balance throughput and quality. Learners understand that constraints can be enablers, not obstacles, when designed intentionally. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
