PMP Tutorial | Work in Progress (WIP), WIP Limits, Lead Time, Cycle Time, and Throughput + Question

BlindTutor.com presents: 📘 In this video, you are gonna see what Work in Progress (WIP), WIP Limits, Lead Time, Cycle Time, and Throughput are in Agile Projects, and we’ll solve a real PMP-style question about them together 🎯 These Agile flow metrics help teams measure efficiency, identify bottlenecks, and improve delivery performance 🚀 🔹 Work in Progress (WIP) Work in Progress refers to the tasks that have been started but are not yet completed 🔄 What it does: Shows how much work the team is currently handling at a given time. Example 📱: A Kanban board shows: 5 tasks in "In Progress" 3 tasks in "Testing" WIP = 8 tasks 🔹 WIP Limit A WIP Limit is the maximum amount of work allowed in a workflow stage at one time 🚧 What it does: Prevents multitasking, reduces bottlenecks, and encourages teams to finish work before starting new work. Example 📱: The "In Progress" column has a WIP Limit of 3 tasks. If 3 tasks are already in progress, no new work can be started until one is completed. 🔹 Lead Time Lead Time is the total time from when work is requested until it is delivered to the customer 📦 What it does: Measures the customer's waiting time. Example 📱: Customer requests a feature on June 1. Feature is delivered on June 11. Lead Time = 10 days 🔹 Cycle Time Cycle Time is the time it takes to complete work after the team starts working on it ⏱️ What it does: Measures the team's delivery speed. Example 📱: Work starts on June 4. Work finishes on June 11. Cycle Time = 7 days 🔹 Throughput Throughput is the amount of work completed during a specific period 🚀 What it does: Measures the team's output and delivery rate. Example 📱: A team completes: 12 user stories this sprint 15 user stories next sprint Throughput is the number of completed items during the selected timeframe. 🔹 PMP Exam Tip 📦 Lead Time = Request ➜ Delivery ⏱️ Cycle Time = Start Work ➜ Finish Work 🔄 WIP = Work currently being worked on 🚧 WIP Limit = Maximum allowed WIP 🚀 Throughput = Amount of work completed over time 🎯 These metrics help Agile teams improve flow, reduce bottlenecks, increase predictability, and deliver value more efficiently 🚀 For Complete PMP Tutorial, Check out: BLINDTUTOR.COM #NavEskand #BlindTutor #blindtutor.com #FreePMPTutorial #PMP #PMPCertification #ProjectManagement #PMI #PMPExam #ProjectManager #PMPLessons #PMPPrep #PMPTraining #PMPStudy #PassPMP #PMPExamPrep #PMP2026 #PMPStudyPlan #PMPTips #PMPTricks #PMPSuccess #PMPMockExam #PMPQuestions #PMPBootcamp #Agile #Scrum #Waterfall #ProjectPlanning #RiskManagement #ScheduleManagement #PMBOK #AgilePM #HybridProjectManagement #CAPM #PMPMindsets #FreeCAPMTutorial #PMBOK6 #PMBOK7 #PMBOK8 #Agilepracticeguide #FREEPMPMockexam #FREEPMPTEST #PMPMindsets #mindset #PMPQuestion #PMPPracticeTest
