Work in Progress (WIP) Limit

A Work in Progress (WIP) limit is a maximum cap on the number of tasks or projects that can be actively worked on at the same time within a workflow. Implementing WIP limits helps teams focus, improve efficiency, and reduce bottlenecks by preventing overload. By limiting ongoing work, teams can ensure high-quality output, address tasks more effectively, and deliver faster. It's a way to maintain balance and flow in a process, ensuring that work progresses smoothly without overextending resources or causing delays.
