About this Presentation

For close to 2 decades, A-dato has helped customers such as Zeiss, Bosch, Airbus, and many more to put their projects and portfolios into motion with its flagship software, LYNX. LYNX is a software that combines the ideas and methods of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), TOC, Scrum, Kanban, and Lean Essential Flow into one integrated solution. The purpose of LYNX is to improve Flow across the entire project portfolio landscape. The philosophy behind LYNX is highly inspired by the works of Eliyahu Goldratt. During this presentation A-dato will talk about its experience and practice of the flow concepts as noted in the ‘Goldratt’s Rules of Flow’ book by Dr Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag.

Plane
The 10 Rules of Flow provide simple, practical behaviors that help teams manage variability and protect throughput in environments with unpredictable work.
Applying these rules in real operations reveals how prioritizing flow over local efficiencies reduces delays, handoff waste, and unnecessary multitasking.
Flow isn’t just about speed — it’s about visibility, focus, and sequence discipline, and real examples show how small shifts in behavior change outcomes.
When teams consistently enforce flow rules, execution becomes more predictable and resilient without adding cost or resources.

Ad Vermeulen

Ad Vermeulen is the director/co-founder at A-dato and an expert in implementation of software solutions in the field of flow-based project and portfolio management. In 2006, A-dato was started out of the belief that people, teams and organizations should be able to collaborate smoothly and effectively when pursuing their goals and ambitions. In order to do so, we created the LYNX, a software for Multi-Project and Portfolio management solutions inspired by the principles from Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). LYNX Software is used by leading companies worldwide such as Airbus, Bosch, Diamond Air, Endress and Zeiss, and enables them to optimize and synchronize workflows across their total portfolio and project management landscape. LYNX is easy to implement and scales to fit the needs from small to large organizations. Moreover, Agile and Kanban workflows are fully integrated through LYNX TameFlow with the flexibility to customize the implementation and configure processes as needed.
