Definitely, Maybe Agile

A simple strategy for reducing work overload


Listen Later

Are you drowning in work? Learning to streamline your team's processes but can’t find the time? Don't panic; Peter Maddison and David Sharrock have covered you with simplistic yet powerful strategies! In this episode, they talk through the 'two-out, one-in process. It's a methodology that ensures the focus is on finishing tasks rather than continually adding to the work pipeline. Expect discussion of work-in-progress limits and empowering your teams to take control of their work.

 This week's takeaways:

  •  Try “two-out, one-in," as it can be a valuable technique for teams overwhelmed with too much work in progress.
  • Make sure everything is captured as work. Visibility is a key first step.
  • Sharing the visibility of the team's workload and its capacity with stakeholders can lead to a better understanding of the team's constraints and workload.
