Project management - Concept
WIP limit
A cap on how many pieces of work can be in progress at the same time
What's it for?
Helps teams avoid taking on too much at once and keeps attention on completing work before starting more
For example…
A team sets a limit of three active tasks, so a fourth cannot start until one of the current three is finished
Think of it like…
Only allowing three trays on the workbench at once so something must be finished before another is added
