Manage Flow
Category: Flow & Kanban Principles
Principle Intent
Focus management attention on the smooth, predictable movement of work through the system rather than on keeping people busy. Flow management prioritizes outcomes over activity.
How to Apply This Principle
This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
