Batch Size (Work)

Batch size is the amount of work grouped together and moved through a process as one unit before the next group starts.

Example

Reviewing five client deliverables together once a week is a larger batch than reviewing each one the day it's finished; the smaller batch surfaces feedback sooner.

Why it matters

Smaller batches move through a process faster and surface problems sooner, at the cost of more frequent handling overhead.

Limits and cautions

Batching too small can drown a process in per-unit overhead, so the right size depends on the cost of handling each batch, not a universal minimum.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's workflow and review stages can be configured to move work through in smaller or larger groups depending on how a team wants to operate.
