3.2. Throughput
Throughput is based on actual data to represent the number of cards delivered in a given period of time on a specific Kanban board. This metric will provide the team represented on a Kanban board a way to track their performance over time.
In our example above, the team has delivered 10, 8, 12 and 10 cards in each of the last 4 weeks. The average throughput is 10 cards per week. As the team keeps tracking their throughput, they will also seek ways to improve it over time.
