S1E23 How to visualise your Blocked items

It's common for work items to face obstacles for various reasons, and numerous individuals have suggested to Orod the idea of featuring these blocked items in a distinct column on the workflow. In this episode, Soma and Orod discuss visualising these blocked items effectively. To address and provide clarity on this matter, they revisit the fundamental definition of a workflow. A workflow illustrates the work progression through the system, with each column representing a stage in the knowledge discovery process. Now, the question arises: is "Blocked" one of these stages? Certainly not. Work can encounter obstacles at any stage of the workflow. "Blocked" serves as the status of the work, and the optimal approach to visualisation involves placing these blocked items in the respective stage where the obstruction occurred, enabling the tracking of the duration they remain blocked.
