Bottlenecks around the world

Playing The Bottleneck Game

The “Bottleneck Game” is a simple game that illustrates many Agile, Lean and Theory of Constraints topics. It’s available for free with a Creative Commons license so that everybody can play it. And people do play it all over the world. For example:

• Thierry Cros played the game in Morocco.
• Kevin Rutherford played the game in Manchester.

Great productivity improvements for both teams! But we all know software development isn’t manufacturing, right?

Try the game. Try some of the ideas. Just like in the game, your team can create more value with less effort and a lot less stress.
