INSIGHT

Multiple Takt Times

  • Varying work package durations within a Takt phase are normal.
  • Takt planning helps reveal adjustments needed for flow by highlighting these variations.
ADVICE

Maintain Takt Rhythm

  • Aim for consistent speed and spacing of trades (like a train).
  • If a task doesn't fit the Takt, consider splitting it, making it a separate phase, or adjusting the overall Takt.
