Summary
An excellent and brief visual demonstration of the impact of flow on throughput. As Henrik Kniberg puts it, "when you focus on keeping people busy, what you get is a bunch of busy people". By focusing on throughput, this short lesson shows the difference between push and pull, and how much work is actually completed by using various methods.
