  • Thanks peter.

    Ironically, if people are in the position of cutting out testing to shorten delivery time then they are definitely doing testing the wrong way.

  • Nice job, Alan. As I've said before, I think this is one your most effective training elements.

    One thing on "consumption" vs. "cash" as a target. I'm increasingly seeing cases where people cut their cycle time by reducing testing at the expense of quality. That cuts the time-to-consumption, but it can often delay or even extend indefinitely the time-to-cash.

    As Goldratt suggests, focusing on cash always works, whether discussing CT or flow.
