Excellence
Shu
- The work in progress limit for items in progress is equal to the number of items pulled into the sprint. The squad works on all of them simultaneously, only getting a few done by the end of the sprint.
Ha
- The work in progress limit for items in progress is set to three to four. The squad doubles in speed.
Ri
- The work in progress limit for items in progress is set to one or two, making the squad happily swarming item after item at high speed. Everyone enjoys a story a day makes the product owner hurray.
