Key Takeaways from My Workshop: 1. Controlling the age of work in progress (WIP) is the simplest, most effective way to improve predictability. By keeping WIP age in check, teams can reduce cycle times and avoid delays. 2. Predictability starts with improving single-item forecasting. Instead of guessing delivery dates for large groups of work, focus on accurately forecasting one item at a time. 3. Stable cycle times make forecasting easier and more reliable — for both single items and larger projects. By managing WIP age and stabilizing cycle times, teams can confidently make both short-term and long-term delivery predictions.
