TThe purpose of this chart
Throughput is the rate of which work is finished in a given time period (items per day, week, etc.).
The throughput histogram is a bar chart that shows how often you achieve a certain daily throughput.
How to read the chart
The vertical axis represents a Frequency. In this case, the frequency means the number of days you achieved a certain throughput.
The horizontal axis represents a Throughput. In this case, the number of items you completed in a day.
In the chart to the right it clearly shows that, in most days, we deliver ZERO items.
But there were 75 days that we delivered one finished item, 40 days that we delivered two, 25 days that we delivered three and so on. As the throughput is less frequent, our expectation of it happening again should also reduce. These outcomes are less likely than the ones that happen often.
