Small Batches
Category: Flow & Kanban Principles
Principle Intent
Process work in the smallest viable increments to reduce risk, improve flow, and accelerate feedback. Large batches hide problems, create queues, and delay learning.
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.
