The Lean Dot GameThis game's purpose is to give us a "live-feeling" for the following concepts:• As Work-In-Process (WIP) increases, so does:

• The effort needed to detect and fix problems with the work.*1• The time it takes for new unique-work to get done.*1

• WIP increases when people upstream of a process's bottleneck work faster than the bottleneck can process their work. *1• If the bottleneck cannot be readily-widened, then the upstream-people must redirect

their excess effort elsewhere in order to alleviate the increasing WIP.*1

The Lean Dot GameWe need the following materials for one, three-round game:• Post-its, pop-up style, yellow, 3"x3",

(at least 300)*1• At least two pop-up post-it

dispensers (they can be homemade)• Enough 3/4 inch round assorted

color dot labels to populate 300 post-its*1 (3 packs of Avery 5472)

• Enough sheets of pre-punched, 3-hole, letter-size paper to hold 300 post-its at 6 post-its, per sheet (at least 50)

• 6 additional sheets of paper with enough additional post-its and dot labels to make examples for each of the six stations, as shown in the adjacent figure.

The Lean Dot GameThe participants play the game with the following in mind:• They are developing a software

application• A fully-dotted post-it represents a

feature of the software.• Note that since the arrangement of

the dots on each post-it is the same,• The participant at Station #1

writes a timestamp at the top of the post-it to both make each one unique and to track the WIP time of each.

• The six stations represent the major functions of software development:

1. Business Analyst2. Technical Analyst (Architect)3. Designer4. User-Interface Developer5. Logic Developer6. Tester (Quality Assurance)

The Lean Dot GameThe participants play the game with the following in mind (continued):• Given the below-mentioned assumptions, the following formula (a variant of what's called

"Little's Law") can estimate the average WIP time for a post-it (a.k.a. Cycle Time (CT))*2*3• CT = WIP/TH

• Assumptions:• Conservation of WIP flow, where the average output rate equals the average input rate.*2• All WIP is eventually completed.*2• The size and average-age of the WIP is reasonably stable during the given time-interval.*2

• Note that if the WIP never drops to zero, it is possible for its average-age to fluctuate, in which case, the above formula does not hold true.*2

The Lean Dot GameInstructions for all 3 Rounds:• Each station has "in" and "out" areas, where

• The "out" area of an upstream-station is shared with the "in" area of the neighboring downstream-station.

• For stations 2 through 6,• Please do FIFO (First In First Out)

• As shown,1. Station-1 writes a timestamp (hh:mm:ss) at

the top of the post-it in 24-hour format2. Station-2 applies a yellow-dot3. Station-3 applies a red-dot4. Station-4 applies two green dots5. Station-5 applies two blue dots6. Station-6 writes an appropriate pass or fail

mark next to each dot, then writes a timestamp at the bottom of the post-it

• 20 minutes are allotted for each round.• 4 minutes for prep• 6 minutes for play• 10 minutes for discussion, via a four-chair

Obsessive Clock-Watcher (a.k.a. Project Manager) records the following for each round:• The difference between the first

post-it's top and bottom timestamps

• The difference between the last post-it's top and bottom timestamps

• # of completed post-its• # of accepted post-its• # of WIP post-its (WIP)• TH (# of completed post-its/ 6

minutes)• CT (WIP/TH)

• The Project Manager will also:• Ensure that FIFO is being followed• Give a one-minute warning• End play after 6 minutes

The Lean Dot GameInstructions for Round 1 of 3:• Software features are to be

produced in batches of six• As shown,

• Station-1 pulls a sheet of pre-punched paper and places six post-its on it, then writes a timestamp "hh:mm:ss" at the top of each one.

• For the participants who will be acting like slightly self-centered assistant managers, • Pick a single station to "ride",

then• Once game-play begins,

"ride them" to work "faster than they can", like your next luxury car payment depends on it!

• Multiple assistant managers per station is encouraged!
