Join us for an exploration in '12 Ways Flow Metrics Show Up in Everyday Life,' where we reveal the fascinating, often invisible influence of flow metrics in our daily lives. This session is more than just a talk; it’s a journey into how cycle time, work in progress, work item age, and throughput—key flow metrics—uniquely manifest in familiar settings. We’ll investigate how the cycle time of a morning routine impacts our day, compare the 'work in progress' in a bustling restaurant kitchen to personal productivity strategies, and analyze the throughput of urban transportation systems. Be prepared for interactive demonstrations and engaging stories that bring these concepts to life. This talk will not only enlighten but also provide you with actionable insights to optimize your daily activities using the principles of flow metrics. Get ready to be both entertained and informed as we uncover the extraordinary in the everyday!
