By , Editor · · What’s Next

The team's working hard but producing surprisingly little. Deadlines keep slipping. The instinct is to push people harder, but they're already flat out.

Workflow optimisation is the systematic improvement of work processes to reduce waste and increase flow, rooted in Lean principles from the Toyota Production System. You map the current process, identify bottlenecks and waiting time, redesign for efficiency, and measure whether things actually improved.

A five-stage horizontal pipeline - Request, Spec, Build, Review, Deploy - with two timing rows beneath each stage, WORKING and WAITING, and the longest waiting time flagged BOTTLENECK.
