Episode 86: What are Flow Metrics?


Listen Later

🎙️ In this episode of the Take5IRL podcast, hosts @Pat and @Mike dig into common fallacies around work processes that often get in the way of effective delivery. Their discussion leads to a deeper look at flow metrics—what they are, why they matter, and how they help organizations move value sustainably through teams.


They break down how each of them defines “flow,” what it means for a system to deliver value in a predictable way, and why actively managing flow is one of the original intentions behind Scrum. Key metrics like work in process, cycle time, lead time, and throughput take center stage as tools for understanding and forecasting delivery.


Stay tuned to Take5IRL as they continue exploring how flow metrics can drive better outcomes for your teams and organization.
