Bottleneck

Bottleneck image
A bottleneck is any systemic constraint or congestion point that restricts the overall throughput, velocity, or delivery speed of the software development lifecycle. 

It forces the entire system to operate at the pace of its slowest step.

Historically, testing was sometimes seen as a bottleneck (too many developers, not enough testers).
