Office term

Bottleneck meaning

MeetingsWith your bossWith colleagues

Meaning

A step, person or resource that slows down the whole process because everything has to pass through it.

हिंदी अर्थ

वह चरण, व्यक्ति या संसाधन जिसकी वजह से पूरा काम धीमा पड़ जाता है।

When to use it

Use it when you point out what is delaying a project, and then suggest a way to fix it.

Examples

  1. 1. Approvals have become the bottleneck; every request waits two days for sign-off.

    अप्रूवल अब सबसे बड़ी रुकावट बन गए हैं; हर रिक्वेस्ट साइन-ऑफ़ के लिए दो दिन रुकी रहती है।

  2. 2. We have only one tester, so testing is the bottleneck for every release.

    हमारे पास सिर्फ़ एक टेस्टर है, इसलिए हर रिलीज़ में टेस्टिंग ही रुकावट है।

💡 Tip: Talk about the process, not the person, for example “approvals are a bottleneck” rather than “Rahul is the bottleneck”.
