Work-in-Process (WiP) can silently undermine the efficiency and flow of teams and organizations. This webinar, "Whip WiP!", addresses the critical yet often overlooked aspects of managing WiP to enhance team performance and organizational throughput. Drawing on principles from DevOps and beyond, we delve into why excessive WiP is detrimental and how it can be effectively managed and reduced. We'll explore:

• An overview of WiP and its impact on team flow and organizational efficiency.

• The insidious dangers of unchecked WiP, including reduced throughput and increased bottlenecks.

• Practical tools and examples for managing WiP, including Kanban principles such as making work visible, limiting WiP, reducing batch sizes, and continuously identifying and addressing constraints.

• Insights from Gene Kim's Three Ways, focusing on Flow, Feedback, and Continual Learning, to improve continuous delivery, agility, and business outcomes.

• Strategies to prioritize high-value work and minimize low-value tasks that hinder productivity.

This session is ideal for team leaders, project managers, and anyone involved in development or operational processes seeking to improve productivity and project outcomes. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to manage WiP effectively, ensuring their teams are not just busy but productive and aligned with business goals.
