Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Suppose the team has 10 tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overload approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Everyone starts different tasks. Soon, 8 tasks are \u201cIn Progress,\u201d 5 are waiting for Review, and almost nothing is Done.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Flow approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The team limits In Progress to 3 and Review to 2. They finish current tasks before starting new ones.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Teaching line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Kanban values smooth flow, not maximum busyness. A busy team is not always a productive team. The real goal is to move work to Done.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A good short phrase for students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Stop starting. Start finishing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
