Is there a way to improve both project requirements and quality at the same time? Allow me to begin this discussion with an illustration.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into the room and saw that the television had been installed a foot higher than I expected.

Cycle time (or System Lead Time as some call it) is one of the most common metrics used to measure the effectiveness of a Kanban system. Cycle time is the time taken by a Kanban card to move from start to end on the board (or some part thereof).

What distinguishes mediocre managers from high-quality ones? Mediocre managers are unwilling to do what they expect their employees to do. High-quality managers never ask their employees to do something they themselves would never do. Employees trust the manager who values them as an equal.
