System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams struggling with too much simultaneous work, long cycle times, and items getting stuck by establishing clear Work-In-Progress (WIP) limits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Mapping: Guides you through defining the stages of your team's process.
  • WIP Limit Calculation: Provides recommended WIP limits based on common practices and team size.
  • "Stop Starting, Start Finishing" Enforcement: Outlines the crucial rule for when WIP limits are reached.
  • Use Case: A software development team finds their cycle time is increasing. They use this skill to define their Kanban board stages, set WIP limits for each stage (e.g., max 6 items in 'In Progress', max 3 in 'Code Review'), and agree to the "stop starting, start finishing" rule.

Quick Start

Define WIP limits for your team's workflow by following the steps in the skill.
