The document discusses various strategies for reducing delays in systems. It identifies three types of delays: upstream delays which occur before work begins, in-process delays which happen during the work, and downstream delays after the work is completed. For each delay type, it lists specific strategies that can be used to reduce them, such as conducting strategy reviews and setting replenishment points for upstream delays, measuring and predicting blockers and cross-training for in-process delays, and deploying often and using DevOps for downstream delays. The document emphasizes that when traditional improvements are not effective, leadership is needed to drive major changes to address factors like high volatility and long lead times.

- 6. WHEN DOINGTHE SAME THING BETTER WON’T HELP • Fat-tail lead time distributions • Long average lead time relative to deadlines • High volatility in staff liquidity Because all of these things mean your system is exposed to extreme random events which invalidate your attempts to forecast. In these cases, the solution requires an act of leadership. I learned this from Alexei Zheglov
