Editor's Notes
- Process Change approach as much as a work management approachDoes not provide technical guidance (a la XP)Intends to addresses many of the problems we’ve seen in Agile adoptionsNot a guarantee!
- Recipe for SuccessFocus on QualityReduce Work-in-progressDeliver oftenBalance Demand against throughputPrioritizeAttack sources of variability to improve predictability
- Right now, you are running a race.Are you leading the pack? In order to lead the pack, should we change cars right now? Engines? Tires? Drivers?Maintain current processNo empirical evidenceEmotional ResistanceEvolutionaryHard to succeed
- How deep do you want to go before it gets better?We are doing Kanban right? KaizenLittle – Js
- This is a problem only people can solvePeople must buy-inBelieve in them
- Don’t Change ImmediatelyCommit to EvolveRespect People
- Cards represent moreColor – Type of workAvatar – Current ownerAge – Start date, due dateSwim lanesClass of Service - SLAStand ups are differentFocused on impedimentsState is immediately apparentScales well to larger teams
- Allows quality improvementsHelps prevents over production (inventory)Identifies bottlenecksSmooths flowHelps manage demand vs. capability (system)
- Pushing the Limits – Pull-based System Game300 balls4-6 bucketsGroups of 6-10 peopleBucket = productionBalls = featureDropped ball = failureBall in bucket = successRound 1(N) analysts(N-1) Developers(Developers – 1) QAEveryone pushes work down onto next level as fast as they canRound 2Pull-based fulfillment – same # of people in rolesRound 3Pull-based fulfillment – teams adapt to eliminate bottlenecksRandomly get a person to put one-hand behind their back
