WIP Limit is the maximum amount of work in progress (WIP) allowed on a given project or task. WIP Limits are a key aspect of agile project management, which encourages teams to set limits on the number of tasks being worked on at any one time in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. WIP Limits help teams focus on getting essential tasks done quickly, rather than taking on too much at once and becoming overwhelmed by too many projects all competing for attention.
