Quotes:
"How can I find out what the ideal WIP limit is for the system I am in?"
"After a few iterations and having recorded the learnings in retrospectives, we collectively decided to increase the WIP."

- kqr 5y agoWell, there are two important limiting cases when it comes to minimising WIP: zero and one. Assuming your work is productive in the first place, zero WIP would be bad. One WIP, known as "single piece flow" is actually the ultimate optimisation in production. So from that perspective, optimising and minimising is the same thing.
