Function flow_load_from_items 

pub fn flow_load_from_items(active: u32, waiting: u32) -> u32

Flow load: total count of flow items currently active or waiting in the value stream.

Flow load (chapter 2.4) is a count, not a computed ratio — it is what crate::code_churn-style metrics are to churn, a raw tally that other formulas (Little’s law) then relate to other quantities. This helper simply sums active and waiting items so the intent is explicit at the call site.

Arguments

• active — count of items currently being actively worked on.
• waiting — count of items currently waiting in a queue.

Returns

The total flow load, active + waiting.

Examples

use software_engineering::flow_framework::flow_load_from_items;

// 5 items actively being worked, 17 waiting: flow load of 22.
assert_eq!(flow_load_from_items(5, 17), 22);
