Measurement is one form of making the process and the impact of work entry explicit and visible.

The goal of controlling work entry is simple, to ensure the organization gets the right value when it’s needed.

This occurs by making sure teams pull the right work when they have the capacity.

While that sounds simple, the real world is complex, measurement helps spotlight the work entry function so that it can be controlled and improved. Most organizations measure and perhaps even measure the measures themselves.

Most of these measures and metrics are context-driven and will not matter in every environment. So rather than inventory all possible metrics we focus on the one core area that matters across the board, Flow.
