An organization's lead times and the flow of tasks across value streams are being impacted...

Limiting work-in-progress (WIP) is a technique that involves setting a maximum number of tasks that can be in progress at any given stage of the workflow. This helps to reduce the amount of time that tasks spend waiting in queues, which improves the flow of work and reduces the lead time. Limiting WIP also encourages the team to focus on completing the tasks that are already started, rather than starting new ones, which improves the quality and value of the work. Limiting WIP is a key practice of Kanban, which is one of the methods covered in the ITIL 4 Managing Professional Transition module. References:
