8. 5 reasons you
should "Swipe
Right" for
Kanban - the
Flow Strategy
BY JOHN COLEMAN

9. But first...
What is KFS?

10. Hi I'm
KFS!
<1 year old minimalist
flow strategy

11. Evolution
ofKFS

12. Why should you
swipe right on KFS?

13. I give
you five
reasons!

14. Reason 1:
Kanban - the Flow Strategy is
simple
It has a straight forward
purpose, definition, workflow,
practices, measures, and
additional definitions
So we understand visual
management alone is not
Kanban

15. Reason 2:
KFS defines value
Customer value, End-user value,
Societal value, Knowledge value

16. "Take the time
it takes so it
takes less
time"
Pat Parelli
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Parelli

17. Reason 2:
KFS defines Cycle Time but in the 1st
addendum pays respect to
different lingo

18. Reason 2:
KFS defines Cycle Time, Flow,
Backlog, kanban, Kanban Board,
Job To Be Done, WIP, Workflow
Policy, Work Item, Value

19. Reason 3:
KFS supports deep complexity with
its addendum Kanban for
Complexity™ (Kanplexity™)
…

20. Reason 3:
KFS supports deep complexity with
its addendum Kanban for
Complexity™ (Kanplexity™)
…

21. Reason 3:
KFS supports deep complexity with
its addendum Kanban for
Complexity™ (Kanplexity™)
It looks like Scrum from 40,000 ft.
and supports Cynefin Sense Making,
not a flow manager, scrum master,
or product owner to be seen. A
measurement case study shows 10X
performance.

22. Reason 4:
KFS doesn't not support TameFlow
A combination of Theory of
Constraints & Kanban

23. Reason 4:
KFS doesn't not support TameFlow
A combination of Theory of
Constraints & Kanban
KFS just makes aspects of
TameFlow optional, like it makes
aspects of Enterprise Flow (Flow
Academy) optional,
Context is king!

24. Reason 5:
It's only V1.0. We're learning.
You can influence KFS's evolution.
You can help us to make it better.
And it's extensible via it's addendums.

25. KFS's
Qualities:
• clarity
• simplicity
• brevity
• breadth & depth
• support for advanced Kanban
approaches
• supports descaling
• supports executive journey
• supports organizational journey for non-
tech
