Notes on flow.

Field notes and small simulations on flow, written as I learn them.

Real team example

• Team Northbound, three months in What can we learn from 3 charts?

Simulations

It is essential to understand a few chart types to understand flow.

• Watching work pile up Understanding the cumulative flow diagram, one drag at a time.
• One card, one dot Understanding the cycle time scatter plot
• Flip a coin, roll a die Understanding histograms, one trial at a time
• How many, and when? A Monte Carlo simulation, one random pick at a time
