A mayor asks whether the county elections systems ART is delivering faster than last PI. How should the RTE answer with flow measurement?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Faster than last time is a trend question, not a one-PI snapshot. Put the same flow gauges next to each other across PIs and the mayor can see whether the elections ART actually sped up. Mood, a lone point total, or waiting until after election day is not a comparison.
Full Explanation
Flow improvement conversations require comparable metrics trended across PIs, not a single period's story points or anecdotal mood. On a county elections systems ART, the RTE can show flow time, load, velocity, and related measures against the prior PI so leaders discuss change, not a snapshot. That trend is what answers whether delivery is faster. Deferring until after election day or skipping a baseline leaves the mayor without evidence.
