What you'll learn
Map where work waits
Follow one piece of work from request to customer and separate the time spent working from the time spent waiting.
Find out why work waits
Classify each wait as a cadence, a decision gate or a queue, and name the cause behind it.
Remove the longest waits
Choose changes to decisions, rhythms and capacity that shorten lead time more than faster coding can.
Why this topic matters
AI makes coding, testing and writing specifications faster, but in most organisations the time from request to customer has hardly changed. Most of that time is not work. It is waiting: for the next meeting, for a decision or for busy people. When teams produce more, these waits often grow. The lesson shows how to follow one piece of work, see where it waits and why, and find the changes that shorten lead time instead of speeding up the work.
