What is the current WIP limit utilization as a percentage? Round to the nearest whole number and enter numbers only (e.g., 85).
How to approach this question
Calculate total active work (In Progress + Testing), divide by WIP limit, multiply by 100 for percentage.
Full Answer
117
Current active work = In Progress (8) + Testing (6) = 14 items. WIP utilization = 14/12 × 100 = 117%. The team is exceeding their WIP limit.
Common mistakes
Including 'To Do' or 'Done' items in the WIP calculation, or forgetting to convert to percentage.
