About
In this podcast series, we sit down with Clarke Ching and explore “The Advanced Guide to the Agile-ToC-Method (ATM) for Beginners”. Clarke said, “Just Enough Agile + Just Enough ToC = Loads of Calm + Loads of Cash.”
If you’re familiar with Eli Goldratt’s ToC (Theory of Constraints), you will be surprised to discover that the trick isn’t to find your bottleneck, then manage it. That works in factories. But in knowledge work, where the flow of work is far more complex, the secret is to find your bottleneck, move it into the right place, and then keep it there.
So to turbocharge your agile teams, just add enough ToC and your productivity will soar.
Clarke Ching – the ‘bottleneck guy’ created the AgileTocMethod (ATM). He is the author of “Rolling Rocks Downhill”, “CorkScrew Solutions”, and “The Bottleneck Rules”. Currently, he and his family live in his homeland New Zealand. Clarke has been powered by ToC (the theory of constraints) for over 25 years and Agile since 2003.

Note: In this podcast, Clarke mentions the book The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt.
