I think the concept of Takt time(T) being equivalent to releases is not quite right. T seeks to measure things on a finer scale, think minutes or hours. I like to equate T to some sort of required velocity. Similar to CVP from my post here: http://blog.chadalbrecht.com/post.aspx?id=a40ce76d-117d-4c3f-b73a-6f916ec46144 That being said, I think the use of T in software engineering doesn’t really buy us much. Here’s David Anderson’s comments on it: http://www.agilemanagement.net/Articles/Weblog/AssemblyLineistheWrongMet.html What do you think? Interesting article!
