Techniques to increase throughput, reduce
time to market and improve quality

2. 2 What catalysis Business Agility
• Being Fast and Flexible
• Maximizing customer value
• Delivering Quality products with sustainably shortest lead time

3. 3 Agile QA
The mindset is to prevent defects from occurring as opposed to
identify defects after the build.
The goal is to deliver with zero escape defects in production.
Focus is on built-in quality

4. 4 Built-in Quality with Left Shift Model

9. 9 Throughput vs Time to Market
Throughput increases with reduction in Time to Market.

11. 11 Push vs Pull
• Difference between being efficient and being effective.
• How and by how much the throughput and cycle time is
impacted with Push.

12. 12 Story Size
