How I Unlocked 6X More Hardware Deliveries
Project Throughput Increase
Same team. Same budget. 500% more value.
The Situation
A specialized hardware team, responsible for mission-critical product modules, was completing only 2 projects every 100 days. Their high-priority work was constantly blocked by unreliable external partners, forcing the team to fill the resulting idle time by starting numerous low-priority projects. This created a system of extreme context switching where no single initiative received the focus it needed. As a result, projects averaged 210 days to complete, with some tickets open for over a year.
The Result
I transformed their delivery system. Now they complete 12 projects per 100 days. Cycle time dropped 57% to 91 days.
The Numbers That Matter
Before: Constant Motion, No Progress
- • 210-day average cycle time
- • 2 completions per 100 days
- • "One ticket per sprint" progress on major initiatives
- • Unmeasured internal delays
- • Zero predictability
After: Focused Execution, Continuous Delivery
- • 91-day cycle time (57% faster)
- • 12 completions per 100 days (6X increase)
- • 36-day internal processing (83% improvement)
- • Reliable delivery forecasting
What This Means
"We went from a 210-day cycle time to just 36 days for our internal work. Our throughput increased 6x with the same team."- Hardware Engineering Team Lead
Business Impact
- • Product launches now hit market windows
- • Engineering capacity effectively multiplied by 6X
- • Strategic planning based on real delivery data
- • Team morale transformed
