This document provides an overview of how to use Kanban boards for project management. It begins with basic explanations of Kanban concepts like columns for to-do, doing, and done tasks. It then describes how metrics like throughput, lead time, work in progress can be measured. Potential problems like having too many tasks, tasks not being finished, or blocked tasks are covered along with solutions. The document recommends adding details to tasks, limiting work in progress, and separating task types. It emphasizes fundamentals of Kanban like visibility of workflow, focusing on flow, and using explicit done criteria. Finally, it shows how performance can be tracked over time through measurement.
The Kanban PMO: How to improve an existing PMO using Kanban and AgilePMLazaro Wolf
Traditional PMOs are considered the motherships of project management disasters. Over the past 2 decades, DSDM has proven to be a rigorous Agile method allowing companies to deliver projects successfully in an Agile manner. However, we still need to find ways to address the most common challenges encountered by most organisations trying to adopt Agile ways:
- Coordinate the deliverables and needs of multiple Agile teams;
- Create an environment of effective collaboration and communication across the organisational boundaries;
- Expand Agility beyond the traditional IT space; and,
- Balance the demand and capabilities of organisations to produce improved business flow.
Few companies truly treat themselves as a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish a common goal. Does your PMO follow a systemic approach? How do you maintain the continuity and flow of the system? The challenge is to maximise the desirable Agile benefits from ‘Individuals (Teams) and Interactions’ to multiple teams and ever-larger systems, without losing our Lean temperament. In this presentation, the authors will present how Lean Thinking and Kanban can be used in conjunction with the DSDM lifecycle to successfully create an improved PMO focused on re-architecting the Business Flow and Balance of Demand.

Portfolio Kanban - Seeing the Big Picture Sandy Mamoli
Doing too many things at once can slow an entire organisation down. As every successful organisation will have more great ideas than they have capacity to build, it is tempting to start too many of them at the same time. However, too many projects in progress will slow down delivery of each and every one of them.
So, how can we make sure we work to our organisational capacity and don’t try to do too much? How do we make sure we’re working on the important and not just the urgent stuff? This is where Portfolio Kanban can help: In this session we will explore how Portfolio Kanban can help an organisation prioritise, plan and visually track its projects.
Through the example of Trade Me, New Zealand's biggest e-commerce site, I will demonstrate the practical application of Portfolio Kanban. I will explore how Trade Me have benefitted from the increased visibility and reduced work in progress, and how they are using Portfolio Kanban to direct the organisation’s Agile teams. Come along and enjoy tales of our successes, challenges and struggles on our (still continuing) journey towards awesome portfolio management.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
