Going Beyond WIP Limits for Ever-Higher Organizational Performance

Despite the myth of multitasking, most of us struggle with juggling several projects at once. Fortezza Consulting's Michael Hannan discusses the power of single-tasking and how implementing work-in-process targets can lead to dramatic improvements in individual and organizational performance. Through the use of Lean, Kanban, and visualizing work on a Kanban board, teams can continuously identify areas for improvement and work towards achieving their performance goals. By using WIP limits, teams can focus on the quality and speed of their work, ultimately fostering a culture of experimentation and collaboration. Hannan addresses common questions about WIP targets, including how to recognize when it's time to optimize WIP, how to create buy-in from teams, and how to scale WIP targets across the enterprise.
