Agree whole-heartedly! Not mentioned in the article:
- Increasing cycle time means you'll end up jamming a larger delivery payload (or more items) into the cycle. This increases risk, which is mitigated via gate-keeping, so cycle times tend to increase even more.
- Gate-keeping is a form of fiefdom-building. Businesses usually don't consider that when implementing them at first.
- Gate-keeping for problem FOO means everyone will treat FOO as someone else's problem; they're free to ignore foo. Quality gates, in my experience, typically make for lower quality products.
