The Challenge
Delivery throughput was inconsistent. Work accumulated in progress, priorities shifted mid-sprint, and teams were overloaded with parallel initiatives. Cycle times were unpredictable, creating planning friction and frequent escalations.
The Approach
I introduced explicit WIP limits across teams, implemented pull-based policies, and defined prioritization guardrails to prevent mid-stream scope disruption. Aging work was made visible, and decision rights around priority changes were clarified.
The Outcome
Average cycle time decreased by ~20–25%.
Flow became more stable, work in progress reduced, and teams regained focus — improving predictability without adding process overhead.
