Imported from Japan, Kanban is an agile methodology that is gaining a lot of traction. Kanban, or Japanese for signal card, is a process that focuses on transparency and limiting the work in progress. By utilizing Kanban, you can pinpoint the bottlenecks and address them easily. In this session you will learn what Kanban is, how it evolved from its roots in the Toyota Production System (TPS) and lean manufacturing to software development, Kanban’s benefits, and how best to implement a Kanban system. We’ll also discuss when not to use Kanban and how to modify other agile methodologies, such as Scrum, to be used in conjunction with Kanban.
Kanban 101 workshop by John Goodsen and Michael Sahota.
This covers everything you will need to know to play Russell Healy's Kanban Game: visualizing the work, metrics, and creating explicit policies.
Slides are available on request. Please email me.
The "2017 Scrum by Picture" is something you can call Scrum Guide illustrated. It is based on the newest version of "Scrum Guide".
You will find the theory, scrum values, scrum team, scrum events including sprint, sprint planning, daily scrum, review and retrospective as well as scrum artifacts. All of those is explained in easy to follow, illustrated nicely presentation, which can assist you to catch the idea behind Scrum.

Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting in a Tree… - Big Apple Scrum Day 2018Yuval Yeret
Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting on a Tree... (Learn how to leverage Kanban & Scrum together and how to fit DevOps into the picture)Should we use Scrum? Should we use Kanban? Where does DevOps fit into the picture? The best agile teams already know they don’t need to choose. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership. DevOps really is mainly about doing Agile the right way. In this session, we will look at a core definition of Scrum, Kanban & DevOps, do some myth-busting as well as identify the quite significant common ground between Scrum, Kanban and DevOps. We will then look at practical ways like the Kanban-based Sprint Backlog, Flow-based Daily Scrum, Visualizing aging work, Flow-based Sprint Planning - which bring some Kanban flow into your Scrum. We will look at how to bring Scrum roles/events/artifacts into your Kanban. We will look at ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban Flow system that looks upstream/downstream and at the higher level picture of a DevOps Culture/Process. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with some ideas for experiments to try when back at work.
Kanban method in four easy steps. Enjoy kanban.
Kanban in 4 easy steps is one of the most popular Kanban presentations. Learn how to successfully implement Kanban in your business process or life. Get to know basic Kanban principles and to see how easily you can improve your productivity using Kanban boards.
Modern Professional Scrum using Flow and Kanban - Agile and Beyond Detroit 2019Yuval Yeret
Should you use Scrum or Kanban? You don’t have to choose: Scrum teams improve when they look at flows inside and outside their sprints from a Lean/Kanban perspective. In this session we will talk about Kanban-related myths prevalent in the Scrum world and identify common ground between them. We will look at ways to bring Kanban flow into your Scrum: the Kanban-based Sprint/product backlog, flow-based daily Scrum, visualizing aging work, and flow-based Sprint planning .We will describe ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban flow system, and how DevOps fits into this picture.

Kanban/Scrumban - taking scrum outside its comfort zoneYuval Yeret
Kanban is a way to implement a Lean process, focused on flow, time to
market, and waste removal. Understand the Lean principles behind Kanban, its
relation to Agile/Scrum, and how the two can complement each other into
Scrumban. Understand where Kanban should be considered.
Product Backlog Refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog. This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items. During Product Backlog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The Scrum Team decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team. However, Product Backlog items can be updated at any time by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner’s discretion.
Kanban is the simplest approach which is currently used in software development. Since Kanban prescribes close to nothing there are often a lot of basic questions about the method.
The presentation depicts what Kanban is generally using Scrum as a reference point. Then it presents a series of situations to answer basic questions about working with Kanban
A Kanban board is a work and workflow visualization tool that enables you to optimize the flow of your work. It utilizes a visual cues that tell you what to produce, how much to produce and when to produce it. This presentation contains brief information related to Kanban board like what is Kanban board, how Kanban works and how to start with Kanban board.
In this presentation, Roni explains the basics of Kanban and the principles governing the application of Kanban for process improvement. We also look at a comparison between Scrum and Kanban and visit the basic differences between them.
It includes pointers telling what’s wrong with the current system, history of Kanban, introduction to Kanban, benefits of using Kanban, practices used in Kanban, principles of Kanban, how is Scrum different from Kanban. The tutorial begins with details about the current system and what’s wrong with it. It includes pointers like burnout, low throughput, unidentified bottlenecks, too much work which tell what’s wrong with the current system.
Followed by is a section about the history of Kanban which includes points like how the name originated, who discovered it, design, visual signals, based on which system. Resulting in an introduction section which talks about Kanban, what method it uses, scheduling system, what it consists of, amount of work, identification etc. Next comes the benefits section which includes the benefits of using Kanban like helps in visualizing the system, allows to evaluate, identify bottlenecks, establish trust in process etc.
Afterwards there is a section about Kanban practices. It includes practices used in Kanban like visualize, limit WIP in each phase of development, managing flow by keeping it under monitor, make policies explicit, improve collaboratively through the use of scientific models and some terms like lead time, cycle time, throughput etc. Moreover, it also includes the board for easy visualization, story card for keeping track, charts for measurement, control charts to measure average time taken for each task, cumulative flow diagrams showing relative amount of work.
Then comes the principles of Kanban. It includes principles which should be used in Kanban like agree to pursue incremental, evolutionary change, optimize what already exists, respect the current process, roles, responsibilities, leadership at all levels to empower the workforce to bring about change. The last section of this tutorial is Scrum vs Kanban. It explains how scrum is different from Kanban by giving pointers like Scrum prescribes roles, time boxed iterations, backlog items must fit, limit WIP in a different way. It also includes pointers giving reason why it shouldn’t matter because emphasis should be on the goal and not the tool.

Introduction to Kanban for Creative AgenciesWilliam Evans
This is an introduction to Kanban. Creative agencies, like most organizations that do knowledge work, are defined by the projects they deliver that (hopefully) delivers value for the clients. Most agencies also struggle with multiple competing stakeholders, multiple client engagements, tight deadlines and long hours – it’s amazing any creative work happens at all. Most projects – brand campaigns, websites, landing pages, social, pr, direct, everything, can be viewed as a process - a series of steps or tasks that achieve some desired result – delivery of the project, a happy client, drinks in Tribeca. There are all kinds of processes - simple and complex, individual and team, quick and time-consuming. Sometimes large or over-arching processes consist of a series of smaller processes.
Kanban is a tool for managing the flow of materials or information (or whatever) in a process. Not having the materials, whether it is a part, a document, or customer information, at the time you need it causes delay and waste. On the other hand, having too many parts (too much design, creative briefs, design assets, code) on hand or too much work in process (WIP) is also a form of waste. Kanban is a tool to learn and manage an optimal flow of work within the process. It can also (potentially) make working in agencies a more human, and humane, place to do one’s best work.
Will Evans explores the convergence of practice and theory using Lean Systems, Design Thinking, and LeanUX with global corporations from NYC to Berlin to Singapore. As Chief Design Officer at PraxisFlow, he works with a select group of corporate clients undergoing Lean and Agile transformations across the entire organization. Will is also the Design Thinker-in-Residence at NYU Stern's Berkley Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Will was previously the Managing Director of TLCLabs, the world's leading Lean Design Innovation consultancy where he has brought Lean Startup, LeanUX, and Design Thinking to large media, finance, and healthcare companies.
Before TLC, he led experience design and research for TheLadders in New York City. He has over 15 years industry experience in design innovation, user experience strategy and research. His roles include directing UX for social network analytics & terrorism modeling at AIR Worldwide, UX Architect for social media site Gather.com, and UX Architect for travel search engine Kayak.com. He worked at Lotus/IBM where he was the senior information architect, and for Curl - a DARPA-funded MIT project when he was at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science.
He lives in New York, NY, and drinks far too much coffee. He Co-Founded and Co-Chaired the LeanUX NYC conference, and is the User Experience track chair for the Agile 2013 and Agile 2014 conferences.

Visualizing Work: If you can't see it, you can't manage itFernando Cuenca
Presentation delivered at Toronto Agile Conference - Oct 30, 2018
--
Unlike a factory, where we can see work literally moving around, piling up waiting, being worked on, or even deteriorating with time, knowledge workers have to deal with abstract constructs that are largely invisible. Suddenly, answering questions like "what are we working on?" or "how does work get done here" can become tricky.
The basic premise that the first step towards effectively managing knowledge work is to make it visible will not come as a surprise for anyone with some familiarity with Agile. That said, there's more to effective work visualization than a 3-column board showing "To Do | In Progress | Done" columns, and visualizing work items is only the first step.
This session will explore approaches for visualizing otherwise invisible aspects of work, such as commitments, process, rules and, of course, work items, and using them to enable more effective management and collaboration.

Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Kanban method, including the history and motivation, the core principles and practices, and how these apply to efficiency and process improvement in software development. We’ll also describe how Team Foundation Server can be used as a foundation for your work visualization and work flow management. Come join us for this free Webinar!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

1.Visualize your work
2.Limit your Work-in-Process (WIP)
This definition comes from the
book Personal Kanban, by Jim
Benson and Tonianne de Maria
Barry
5. Review: The Kanban Method
4 Basic Principles:
1. Start with what you do now
2. Agree to pursue incremental, evolutionary change
3. Respect the current process, roles, responsibilities and titles
4. Encourage acts of leadership at all levels
The Kanban Method was
developed by David J. Anderson
6. Review: The Kanban Method
5 Core Properties
1. Visualize the Workflow
2. Limit WIP
3. Manage Flow
4. Make Process Policies Explicit
5. Improve Collaboratively
8. A Rule of Thumb
Grammar is fun!
• Cards are often Nouns
(or noun phrases)
• Lanes on the board are often Verbs
(or verb phrases)
9. Another Way to Put It
Cards: The Things that have
value, that the team delivers.
Lanes: The Activities performed on
the Things in order to deliver them.
10. Start With What You Do Now
• Map the process collaboratively, as an exercise
for the entire team
• Resist the urge to re-engineer or make
improvements
to the process
Just start with what you do now
12. Exercise: Discovering Work-in-Process
10 Minutes:
For each item of WIP you wrote down,
answer the following questions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
What type of work is it?
Where is it now?
Where was it just before I got it?
Where will it go when I’m done with it?
(Try doing this exercise in pairs)
13. What type of work is it?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Project
Deliverable
User Story
Task
Request
Ticket
Defect
Feature
Test
Campaign
Requirement
White Paper
Landing Page
These eventually become your card types
14. Where is it now?
I’m working on it, so I’d say it’s
In Development
I’ve finished it, but it hasn’t been
tested yet, so I’d say it’s
Waiting for Testing
15. Where was it just before I got it?
Susan, the business analyst, had
it before me. So, I’d say it was
Done with Analysis,
but not yet started in
Development.
16. Where will it go when I’m done with it?
When I’m done with it, it’ll be
Ready to Deploy
After I’m done with it, it will be
In Production
17. First shot at mapping your process…
Finally! Time to
draw something!
18. To Do, Doing, and Done
Most processes boil down to some version of:
To Do, Doing, and Done.
And most of the detail we are looking to model
is in the Doing part.
Once we’ve started it, what steps does
work go through on its way to “Done”?
19. Systems Thinking
Our team is a System. We
succeed or fail together. Some of
us are specialists, true, but we’re
still one Team.
20. Work Entering The System
Jeff, I’m gonna need you you to re-calibrate the
unilateral phase detractors of the
RetroEncabulator, and I need it done by Monday.
Identify the
Source of Demand
Sure thing, Mr Lumbergh.
Should be no problem at all.
There’s often more
than one!
21. Work Exiting the System
Where does work go when the team is
“Done” with it?
Where is it when you stop thinking
about it and move on to the next
thing?
23. Queues, and Who “Owns” them.
“Ownership”
“Ownership”
This “Done” lane
is a Queue
And so is this
“Ready to Deploy”
24. Why does it matter who owns it?
“Ownership”
It’s about whose WIP limit it counts
against. And it defines “push” vs.
“pull”.
A Pull system helps me balance my
demand against my available
throughput, and prevents major
WIP from building up around my
bottlenecks.
26. Push vs. Pull
Thanks. I’ll pull it
and start working on
it when I have
capacity
Design is
Done.
27. Handoffs
For many teams, there are handoffs
in the process where the work leaves
your control.
For example, a development team
where a software release must be
submitted to another department
for approval before release.
Ideally, you want to reduce those
friction points. But until you do, call
them out specifically on your kanban
board.
34. Anti-Patterns
• A lane per person
Kanban Pro Tip
Keeping the work
moving is much more
important than keeping
the workers busy.
I expect each individual to perform
at optimum capacity!
36. Start with What you Do Now
Pursue Incremental, Evolutionary Change
37. Questions?
• Should you map more than once process on
the same board?
• What level of granularity is suitable when
dealing with large, complex workflows?
• What’s your opinion on using a web-based
board vs. a physical board?
• Can Kanban be incorporated into a non-Agile
workplace?
38. Next Steps
• Give it a try – and remember you don’t have
to get it 100% right.
• We’ll be sending you some additional
resources to help you get started:
– Blog post by Jim Benson, co-author of Personal
Kanban
– Short video on how to modify your board in
LeanKit so that it reflects the steps in your process
