Experience the Power of Pull Systems
summary
A team of 3 developers, 2 testers, 1 PO tries simple WIP limits and learns limits alone worsen friction because work keeps getting pushed onto testers. The experiment uses WIP limits 3/2/2 across development, PR and testing, discovers blocked testers and developer blame, then implements split columns into Doing/Done so finished work is visible and blockers show. Outcome: clearer ownership, faster feedback, improved lead time predictability and higher focus and quality.
