Deep dives

Measuring Cycle Time with Different Sizes

Cycle time is measured by elapsed time and is not affected by the size of the tasks. Regardless of whether a task is large or small, the measurement of cycle time remains the same. The misconception that all tasks need to be the same size for predictability in cycle time is debunked. Instead, it is important to focus on right sizing tasks as they enter an active state and consider whether the service level expectation can be met. The goal is not to make everything the same size but to optimize the size of each task based on its specific requirements.
