Cycle time is the time taken by a Kanban card to move from start to end on the board (or some part thereof).

Managers usually collocate staff by role, by job level or by project team but rarely is individual capability factored into this decision making. The authors’ research showed that pairing a fast worker with a slower one appeared to speed up the productivity of slow worker rather than slowing down the faster one.
