SPaMCAST 473 - Six Important Flow Metrics and Tameflow Chapter 20 Part 3

Published: Dec. 17, 2017, 10 p.m.

SPaMCAST 473 features our essay on 6 Important Flow Metrics! \xa0Getting the most value out of a process is important to any leader. \xa0Balancing getting the most value with getting value sooner complicates the discussion. \xa0In some cases, getting some value sooner is worth more than the same value delivered later. \xa0Guiding the delivery of value is more complicated than a rank ordering a list of user stories and then magically hoping that everything will happen in the most effective and efficient manner possible. \xa0Measurement is an important tool to help teams and organizations ask the right questions. \xa0The 6 flow metrics provide process transparency into organizations that leverage continuous flow, scrumban, and/or Scrum as the basis for their Agile implementations. We will also complete our discussion of part 3 (3 of 3) of chapter 20 of Tame The Flow: Hyper-Productive Knowledge-Work Performance, The TameFlow Approach and Its Application to Scrum and Kanban \xa0().
