Work in Progress (WIP) Limits: Why Less Is More for Engineering Teams
In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, maintaining high developer productivity and code quality isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter. One of the most effective strategies for engineering teams to optimize their workflow and deliver better results is the implementation of Work in Progress (WIP) limits. By controlling the number of tasks that are actively being worked on at any given time, teams can realize tangible improvements in cycle time, collaboration, and overall project visibility.
