Introduction to Little's Law and its Application to Productivity
Little's Law is a concept fundamental to the Kanban method, but it can also be applied to personal productivity and focus. Little's Law states that the average number of items in a system is equal to the arrival rate of those items times the average time spent in the system. By limiting the number of tasks or items in progress, individuals and teams can deliver things earlier and focus their energy more effectively.
