The standard for project management

On-demand scheduling.

 This approach, typically used in a Kanban system, is based on the theory-of-

constraints and pull-based scheduling concepts from lean manufacturing to limit a team’s work in progress 

in order to balance demand against the team’s delivery throughput. On-demand scheduling does not rely 

on a schedule that was developed previously for the development of the product or product increments, 

but rather pulls work from a backlog or intermediate queue of work to be done immediately as resources 

become available. On-demand scheduling is often used for projects that evolve the product incrementally in 

operational or sustainment environments, and where tasks may be made relatively similar in size and scope 

or can be bundled by size and scope.
