Editor's Notes
What does the Kanban Method consist of?
These are the three building blocks defining the Kanban Method. We are going to cover them in this part of the class.
Technically, the Kanban Values are not part of the definition of the method, rather a different way of expressing it. They are not explicitely covered in this class.
There are 3 Change Management Principles designed to frame an evolutionary approach to improvement. Be aware that the Kanban Method is applied to the way you work now, and it will help you evolve the way you work gradually over time.
[Briefly walk through each of the principles. See David’s blog at http://www.djaa.com/principles-general-practices-kanban-method if you want help with how to explain each.]
Service delivery is a focus on providing a service for a customer.
Briefly explain the 3 service delivery principles. Reflect on the values embedded in these statements: customer focus; respect; understanding.
The Kanban Method has 2 sets of principles: the service delivery principles; and the change management principles.
EKC full wording:
Any sizable organization is a network of interdependent services with policies that drive its behavior. Kanban acknowledges this with three service delivery principles, applicable not just to one service but to the whole network:
Understand and focus on your customers’ needs and expectations.
Manage the work; let people self-organize around it. (or "Manage the work; let the workers self-organize around it.")
Regularly review the network and its policies to improve customer and business outcomes. (or "effectiveness")
Walk the class through the Kanban practices.
There are 6 General Practices in the Kanban Method. [Walk briefly through each of the 6 Practices. See David Anderson’s blog at http://www.djaa.com/principles-general-practices-kanban-method if you want help with how to explain]
