WIP (Work In Progress) Limits

Work In Progress (WIP) Limits refer to the maximum number of tasks or items allowed to be in a specific stage of a workflow at any given time. They help teams manage capacity, prevent overload, and ensure smooth progress by encouraging focus on finishing current tasks before starting new ones. By setting these limits, teams can improve efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and maintain quality, ultimately leading to faster and more predictable delivery of work. WIP Limits are essential in optimizing workflow and maintaining a balanced, manageable pace.
