Right-Sizing Cheat Sheet

"Doing" Predictability

The strategies for predictability that we have outlined in this chapter are all 'active'. We have to actively manage our WIP on a daily basis. We have to repeatedly examine our items and right-size them. These are not one and done. Just because our WIP was set and everything looked good initially, does not mean that it will stay consistent. Just because we right-sized an item up front, does not mean it will not age or grow larger. A lot of folks believe that you can achieve predictability by spending hours mapping out work and getting estimates and sizes of all work up front. Those activities, while well intentioned, only give the illusion of predictability. Predictability comes from actively working every day to create and operate a stable system. Establishing a stable system and maintaining a stable system are both a matter of actively managing the system and the items within it. Without "Doing" predictability by controlling WIP and right-sizing our items, we have no shot at having a predictable system.
