Flow Metrics

Throughput

Definition

Throughput measures the number of tasks completed within a defined period. It reflects how much work the team can deliver over time.

How it’s calculated:

Throughput = Number of completed tasks in a given period.

Why it matters:

High throughput shows strong delivery capabilities, while low throughput may suggest inefficiencies or excessive work in progress. It is important to maintain a balance between throughput and quality.

How to improve:

Focus on limiting work in progress (WIP), improving team collaboration, and ensuring tasks are manageable and clearly defined to increase completion rates.
