Showing the result in a graph

When you have done the second step, you should have a new figure for capacity and time to market. The following diagram shows the result plotted in a graph:

Showing the result in a graph

The game's result put in a graph. As you can see, the lead time shrinks more than the throughput when introducing limits.

Theoretically, there should be a big difference in time to market (ΔL) and a small difference in throughput (ΔT). Practically, this is not always the result due to the big variation in personal capacity, 1-6. If you have four teams or more doing this exercise, your average result will most likely get close to the theoretical outcome.
