Design our work
November 18, 2016
We had a process improvement discussion the other day in one team I’m working with now and we realized that we were actually would slow down our process a bit now, but in the long run gain flow.
I asked the team to design their work to help us flow better, but it would of course, initially increase, the workload. Basically we would increase work in process, which of course felt strange for everyone, not at least me… since I was the one recommended.
In this post I wanted to explain why this can sometimes be a good idea and hopefully give you some ideas as to when this can be a useful option.
