Explain Little's Law and its application in Kanban
Tests your grasp of flow metrics beyond the formula. A great answer defines the law (Lead Time = WIP / Throughput), explains the trade-offs (e.g., more WIP increases lead time), and shows how to set WIP limits.
This tests your ability to connect queueing theory to practical software delivery and system design for predictability. A great answer defines the formula (Lead Time = WIP / Throughput), explains the trade-offs (e.g., more WIP increases lead time if throughput is constant), and shows how to use it to set WIP limits. It also mentions the need for a stable system for the law to hold. A red flag is reciting the formula without explaining its practical application or the stability requirement.
