Small Batch Size
Explanation of the Agile practice of reducing batch size to improve flow, feedback, and efficiency
Small batch size is an Agile practice that emphasizes breaking work into smaller, manageable chunks rather than large, monolithic pieces. This approach allows teams to deliver incremental value more frequently, enabling faster feedback, easier identification of issues, and a quicker response to change.
Agile teams deliver in small increments.
It has the following benefits:
- Opportunity to regularly inspect and adapt
- Allows for understanding true customer requirements faster and more accurately
- Reduces waste
- Lowers cost
- Reduces risks
- Maximizes business value delivery
- Improves customer satisfaction
