Do You Have 5 Minutes? The True Cost of Context Switching

The constant context switching caused by interruptions and quick exchanges can be detrimental to productivity. Kanban boards provide a visual representation of work, enabling more effective communication and problem-solving. By dedicating time to team discussions and using the Kanban board to capture pressing issues, teams can reduce the need for status updates and cut down on knowledge transfer time. Regular team sessions, such as Lean coffees, can also facilitate continuous improvement. By avoiding unnecessary context switching, productivity can increase and frustration can be minimized.
