In a world where the there is no perfect visualisation, WiP limit, policy or measures? A good choice depends on the context. There aren't only one answer, but in my experience good questions could help to guide to your answer.
Games become more and more important to help people understand the underlying mindset. They help us try new things and experiment in a safe environment. The question is: what makes a good agile game and how to develop one? Before we developed the game I only knew some models about how to develop them, but it was still mostly an abstract concept for me. In this session I want to tell the story of how we developed the Kanban Pizza Game.
The document discusses Kanban, an approach to workflow management. It begins with introductions and an agenda for a workshop on Kanban theory and simulation. It then outlines a common problem of handling capacity, output, and strategy. Kanban is presented as a potential solution, emphasizing limiting work in progress based on bottlenecks. The core practices of Kanban are defined as visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress, managing flow, making policies explicit, implementing feedback loops, and improving collaboratively. Examples are given and a simulation exercise is proposed to conclude the workshop.

From 0 to 100 coaching 100+ teams in an agile transformation by Tolga Kombak...Agile ME
Agile Transformation is a long journey and happens in a long time span. Throughout this time span you need to train, start Sprinting and coach new Scrum teams on their very first Sprints.
In this speech we are going to present a case study of one of the Turkey’s biggest banks, where all IT transformed from a waterfall world to a final 113 Scrum teams of Agile IT organization in a total of only 8 months. We had vast experience in the field from training to coaching, from yearly master planning to monthly focus called “The Spotlight", from cultivating new internal Agile coaches to empowering Scrum Masters and Product Owners, from fostering Scrum Masters and Product Owners community to having internal Agile events.
In this speech you’ll learn the milestones we had and along with that how number of teams affected and urged us to create some coaching tools we’ve created and implemented.
This document provides an introduction to lean principles and kanban. It discusses two pillars of lean thinking: don't trouble the customer and develop people. Lean principles include continuous improvement, respect for people, eliminating waste, and problem solving. Kanban is introduced as a change management methodology that utilizes lean tools like visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, measuring and managing flow, making process policies explicit, and using models to recognize improvement opportunities. Similarities and differences between scrum and kanban are also outlined.
Executive agility to be able to respond effectively in chaosZXM Webinar - Mia Horrigan
Now more than ever, the ability to respond to change over 'following a plan' couldn't ring truer. Hindsight is 20/20 but none of us could have predicted the unprecedented effect that the Corona Virus has wrought upon every aspect of our lives. Now we are working from home, readjusting to a new 'norm', but all the while living in a state of chaos whilst still 'keeping the lights on' in the space of not months or years but in weeks, days and even hours.
Organisations have already had to rapidly change the products or services they 'traditionally' brought to market and reinvent themselves at lightning speed to not just stay relevant but to actually survive.
This document provides a five step approach to adopting agility across an entire organization. The first step is to build agile skills in people by establishing an agile role progression and providing training tailored to different roles. The second step is to make the adoption agile itself by educating stakeholders, establishing accountable adoption teams, and launching pilot projects. The third step is to focus agility at different levels including focusing the product portfolio, releasing more frequently, and letting teams flow work independently. The fourth step is to not forget principles of innovation like using scrum patterns, the lean startup approach, and flexible budgeting frameworks. The final step is that frameworks are just tools and the core is to create a simple but reliable agile process.
The document discusses whether organizations need to change and considers applying Kanban principles. It outlines some Kanban concepts like limiting work in progress, continuous flow, and continuous improvement. It acknowledges that change may not always be needed but suggests using Kanban when issues like long lead times, quality problems, or unpredictable demand exist. Kanban is presented as a potential solution for organizations not suited for Scrum or with chaotic requirements. The document advocates trying Kanban principles before concluding that change is not possible.

The document discusses an event called Agile Riga Day 2011 about adopting agile practices at organizations. It outlines some common challenges organizations face before and after starting their agile adoption, such as resistance to change, not fully understanding agile principles and rituals, lack of customer involvement, and difficulties implementing technical practices. The document provides recommendations for a successful agile adoption, such as starting iteratively, involving customers, implementing quality practices, and maintaining readiness for continuous change.
This document provides a brief introduction to several agile frameworks and practices, including Scrum, XP, Lean, and Kanban. Scrum is a framework that uses sprints, daily scrums, and retrospectives. XP focuses on programming practices like test-driven development and pair programming. Lean is a mindset aimed at eliminating waste. Kanban uses a board to visualize work and limit work-in-progress to improve flow. Each approach emphasizes values like customer collaboration, responding to change, and delivering working software frequently.

Making Improvement Standard: Dynamic Agile Practices through Lean Standard WorkLitheSpeed
This document discusses using standard work and A3 problem solving to drive continuous improvement in agile practices. It begins by defining standard work and lean concepts. Examples of standard work are provided, such as standardizing hospital processes and agile team definitions of done. The document then explains A3 problem solving, providing a template and example for improving a new associate integration process. It discusses applying A3 and standard work to agile by establishing baseline practices, experimenting with improvements, and updating standards. Metrics are suggested for tracking process, people and product outcomes. Finally, an example simulation illustrates applying the concepts to synchronize team sprints while maintaining stakeholder engagement.
Agile is fantastic. Most of companies nowadays recognise that agile is not something that should to have, but is a thing that must to have. Many organisation tries to perform agile transformation. However, the question is what I should start from. In this presentation, I would like to share my own experience on what were first steps that I tried to do agile transformation at my team.
Introduction to kanban calgary .net user group - feb 6Dave White
February 6, 2013 Calgary .NET User Group Lunch Seminar series - An introduction to Kanban presented by Dave White of Imaginet (http://www.imaginet.com) and board member at Lean Kanban University (http://www.leankanbanuniversity.com)
To help teams make effective day-to-day decisions that support Lean-Agile principles, we’ve created a simple yardstick at LeanKit called FSGD — Frequent, Small, Good, Decoupled.
Easy to remember and apply, “Fizz Good” is a way of breaking down work that reduces the need for cross-team scheduling, estimation and coordination. The results? Faster delivery of customer value.
In this webinar, Daniel Norton, co-founder and Chief Mobile Officer at LeanKit, explains how FSGD can help your organization and how to get started.
This document discusses key takeaways from 8 years of Scrum coaching experience. It describes how work and workplaces have changed from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age. Knowledge work demands self-organizing teams, less management, and leveraging workers' brains through communication and collaboration. Agile transformations often fail due to resistance to allowing self-organization and changing management structures. A successful agile transition starts by establishing a vision and coaching pioneer teams, then scaling practices level-by-level across the organization with a transition team managing impediments.

This document discusses successful Agile teams at scale. It begins by explaining why organizations want to adopt Agile practices like shorter time-to-market and improved quality. However, true Agile adoption requires changes to business, culture and ways of working. The document then discusses scaling Agile through frameworks like SAFe and DAD which provide structure for large, distributed teams. Supporting practices for Agile at scale include risk management, delivery assurance and governance. Finally, the document states that successful Agile teams at scale provide benefits like reduced time-to-value and improved business relationships, but require investments in people, processes and tools to support collaboration.
Having the Correct Context for an Agile TransformationDerek Huether
3 years, 5 business units, 20 lines of business, and over 100 teams. With so many interactions, having the correct context for Agile was (and still is) key to an ongoing transformation. Remember, we're not all Spotify!
Kanban is a method for the process improvement. It has 5 simple core principles and can be applied to any software development process - either some agile methodology or the pure waterfall model.
Batch processes are critical for agile application development but existing batch scheduling tools are not keeping up with modern approaches like DevOps, containers, cloud, and big data. BMC Control-M is a batch scheduling solution that addresses these issues by providing enterprise-scale workflow scheduling that integrates with the entire technology ecosystem, supports DevOps methodologies, and offers self-service, monitoring, and automation capabilities.

The document discusses several common myths about agile development practices and provides the realities in each case. Some myths addressed include that test-driven development is slow, pair programming is inefficient, agile does not work for large or distributed teams, agile requires no documentation or process, and that every project is unique and agile cannot apply. The realities provided counter each myth by explaining how the practices have been shown to save time and improve quality when implemented properly. The document aims to dispel misconceptions about agile and convince readers that with commitment, agile can work for their projects and teams.
Have you heard any of these statements? “As a manager I will have no control or visibility into my team’s activities with Agile!” “Agile practices are unstructured, everyone is a cowboy!” “An agile development team doesn’t work from requirements, and testing goes out the window!” and my personal favorite - “Agile means no documentation!” Ahhhhhhhhh, no wonder Agile is a scary word for managers and testers. If any of the above statements are true in your organization, then someone is doing it wrong. I am here to tell you from personal experience at a number of clients, both large and small, that none of these claims are true if you are truly following the tenets of Agile. Actually, these statements reflect a situation that is really the OPPOSITE of what can happen on a mature, well-functioning agile team. In this presentation, we will discuss what Agile really IS, and debunk some of the popular myths that make organizations hesitate from adopting Agile into their organization.
Kanban 101 workshop by John Goodsen and Michael Sahota.

3 beliefs you need to let go to start your agile journey - Wildcard 2015Antti Kirjavainen
Slides (with extra info) for my talk at Wildcard Unconference 2015.
For the past 10-15 years, many organisations have gone through agile transformations, mainly in the software industry. The success rate has not been stellar to say the least. The State of Agile surveys point out that management support and general resistance to change are among biggest barriers to agile adoption.
In my experience, the root causes for resistance of change and lack of management support are: belief of the importance of maximising resource utilisation, batch thinking and process roll-out positivism, the belief that new processes can be rolled out in the organisation and communicating new prescriptive processes can impact the ways of working for everyone.
These paradigms are fundamentally incompatible with the agile way of working. If an organisation tries to transform its ways of working to agile without helping its members to unlearn these paradigms, the transformation will probably fail.
In my presentation I will provide examples of how these paradigms form barriers to agile transformation. I will also describe my own attempts to help people unlearn these paradigms in order to be ready to adopt new ones. I will conclude my presentation by describing the approaches that I have found working to help people unlearn these paradigms.
My talk will help people in any knowledge work organisation who want to change their organisation into more agile mindset and ways of working.
The document discusses 12 common myths and misconceptions about agile practices. It summarizes that agile is based on principles and values rather than rigid methodologies. Additionally, it emphasizes that agile focuses equally on engineering practices as project management. Iterative development aims to evolve working software incrementally rather than view a project in isolated milestones. Budgets are fixed while scope is variable to allow for adapting to feedback. Problems are expected to surface earlier when using agile to allow for easier fixing compared to later discovery in waterfall approaches. Documentation and design are evidence-based rather than speculative upfront plans. Adopting agile is an ongoing cultural shift rather than a single change and continuous improvement is key.
The document discusses common myths about agile development practices. It addresses misconceptions such as that agile means undisciplined coding, no planning or upfront design, unpredictable outcomes, no contracts or documentation, limitations on distributed teams, fixed cost projects, and diminished project manager roles. The document seeks to clarify what agile truly means and correct these misperceptions.
The document discusses optimizing batch size to improve innovation. It defines batch size and explains that smaller batch sizes allow organizations to generate valuable information quickly, maximize opportunities, and minimize risks. Smaller batch sizes also exploit variability, which is necessary for innovation. The document recommends reducing batch size by making projects and planning sessions smaller. It also suggests optimizing governance, roadmaps, empowering teams, and reducing utilization to further support smaller batch sizes and continuous learning and innovation.
Lean seminar - Get more done in your business with KANBANAndrea Darabos
The method kanban (small k) originates from manufacturing in the 1960s, to keep inventories at a fixed, low level and create JIT production. By the work and experimentation of thought leaders like David J Anderson, Eliyahu Goldratt and their teams, the method proliferated into the services and product development sectors, now named KANBAN (large K). This seminar took on the challenge to give an introduction to anyone new to KANBAN, including practical case studies and games for live participants, and a summary of those for online readers. A method as simple as KANBAN, but still as powerful for culture change and continuous improvement - is definitely a must-have tool for any business manager, team leader or entrepreneur.
The document provides an overview of Kanban and how it can be used to improve processes and outcomes. Some key points:
- Kanban is a method to enable evolutionary change, help implement Agile at scale, and establish a culture of ongoing improvement.
- It is based on Lean principles like limiting work-in-progress to improve flow and pull-based systems to pace work based on demand rather than estimates.
- A Kanban board is used to visualize work with limits on work-in-progress for each stage to highlight bottlenecks and encourage swarming to flow of work.
- Metrics like lead time, wait time and blocks are measured to manage flow and continue improving the process over time
Training - Introducing Agile, Lean and KanbanSudipta Lahiri
This is a presentation that I did for a team to introduce them to Agile, Lean and Kanban, It covers these these 3 areas, how they overlap and then gets into greater details about the Kanban Method.
The document provides an introduction to agile concepts and practices such as Scrum and Kanban. It discusses the agile manifesto, principles, features, benefits, differences from traditional approaches, and practices like Scrum, Kanban, roles, ceremonies, artifacts, and metrics. Scrum focuses on iterative delivery in sprints with product backlog, sprint backlog and daily standups. Kanban emphasizes visualizing and limiting work in progress to optimize flow.

Agile Games Night is a recurring series I started for South Florida Agile Association.
Cadence is to meet on 3rd Wednesday of every month to play an Agile Game and more importantly the lessons learned from the game to become better coaches, ScrumMasters, Product Owners, etc.
The first games night used the penny game to study batch size effects on teams workflow.
1. The document discusses Lean Startup and Lean UX methodologies for product development under conditions of uncertainty. It emphasizes starting with customer development and validating hypotheses through iterative testing of prototypes.
2. Key concepts include minimizing waste, focusing on learning through experiments, and getting customer feedback early via low-fidelity prototypes. Cross-functional collaboration and visualizing processes are also emphasized.
3. Successful implementation requires formulating hypotheses about problems and solutions, designing experiments to test assumptions, and using results to continuously improve products and the development process.
The document discusses various metrics that can be used to measure progress on agile software development projects. It describes metrics like running tested features, earned business value, velocity, burn charts, and cumulative flow diagrams. It explains how these metrics can provide information on outcomes, identify areas for improvement, and influence team behavior in agile projects.

An Introduction to Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)CA Technologies
To compete in today’s application economy, organizations have adopted agile execution techniques. But is that enough? Learn about SAFe and how to leverage this methodology to elevate your agile teams to deliver quality outcomes and align at the enterprise level.
For more information, please visit http://cainc.to/Nv2VOe
The document discusses challenges with capacity planning and portfolio management when focusing on individual capabilities rather than overall value. It recommends visualizing the current process to identify waste, making incremental improvements to start finishing work instead of constantly starting new work, and shifting to prioritize delivering value over optimizing capacity utilization. This will help transition from capacity-focused to value-driven development. Examples of companies adopting these practices are provided.
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.

Companies of all sizes need to grow their own agile way of working, becoming more agile is a journey, not a destination, it is not about implementing a model or another…
It feels like someone presented scaling as the ultimate solution to solve every problem… and now everybody wants to buy it, it really feels like an old story. Way to often the focus about scaling agile lands on the delivery of projects, and explicitly on the operational model behind that. Every true Agilist would know that agility is about continuous improvement and excellence as much as it is about delivery of value. The real challenge lays in how to make an organization learn continuous improvement and embed it into its own culture.
This interactive presentation demonstrates the Lean 5S process and drives home the benefits of implementing and sustaining an effective 5S process. A 5S process is foundational component of any Lean, Six Sigma, or Operational Excellence deployment.

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!
This is a webinar presented by Ahmed Avais at the Agile Dialogue Mississauga. Here is a link to the recording- https://youtu.be/tT5PIB9ePU4
Framework or no framework? Focus on delivery or focus on learning? Go fast or go further? These and many more trade-offs are dependent on the team needs at a given moment. How do you know where to shift our focus? We know every team is unique, so how do you appreciate that uniqueness and find practices that are fit for purpose?
Using Lean and Kanban to Revolutionize Your OrganizationImaginet
The document discusses using the Kanban Method to improve processes in organizations. It describes Kanban as an incremental, evolutionary approach based on visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, and continuously improving processes. The Kanban Method focuses on starting with the current process and making incremental changes over time. It emphasizes principles of visibility, flow management, and continuous improvement through collaboration.
The Team Assessment is a key part of the Team Coaching Framework used by agile42 to coach Agile teams. This workshop has been presented by Niels Verdonk and Konrad Pogorzala at agile42 Connect in Berlin, November 2015.
Are you deploying lean through your department or organization, but have hit some roadblocks?
Are you considering lean as the solution to your business challenge, but aren’t sure where to begin?
Are you just curious as to what lean is all about?
In this 1-hour webinar from LeanCor Training and Education, we’re break away from the traditional presentation format and host a live Q&A session on all things lean with our panel of Lean Deployment Executives.

Many of us will chose to implement Agile, yet only a small minority of companies will realize its true benefits. We risk our reputations, our company resources, and sometimes even our careers to make the switch. Despite the risks involved, the potential rewards of; predictable release cycles, higher quality solutions, and re-energized teams are still worth it. In this executive briefing we will review case studies of Agile transformations and learn what can be done to ensure our success.
The document discusses challenges with enterprise agile transformations and proposes solutions. It notes that while having agile teams is good, true enterprise agility requires alignment across the organization. Focusing only on teams can cause problems if other areas are not adapted. True agile practices require changes at all levels from teams to portfolio. The solution involves establishing the right competencies at each level, adapting practices for scale and cadence, and addressing organizational structure, processes, and culture changes together.
In this presentation, we will use a fast-paced, methodical approach to provide a full picture of what Agile is, how it works, who is using it and how you can use it. We’ll cover a lot of information, but will introduce, compare, and contrast concepts which encourage an objective picture based on your experience. Agile is not a panacea or a prescriptive methodology. At its foundation, it is a mentality and a way of working and managing work that permeates everything you do. We will discuss how that is and what that means in practical terms.
DevOps experiment guidelines for leaders Rob England
This document provides guidance on running DevOps improvement experiments within an organization. It suggests experimenting to test DevOps ideas, create proof points, make improvements, and get people involved. The document outlines how to plan an experiment by discussing it with the team, defining the need, scope, changes, desired outcome, and including it in the work backlog. It also provides examples of potential experiment topics like customer alignment, testing automation, continuous delivery, and collaboration. Teams can brainstorm experiments to pay down technical debt, improve processes, optimize workflows, simplify handoffs, automate tasks, and collaborate more closely. The goal is to challenge existing practices and get out of the way to help people do their work.
Five Steps to a More Agile Organization: Adopting Agility at ScaleLitheSpeed
While agile methods have become mainstream, agile organizations have not. Perhaps several development teams have had great results from a method like Scrum, but as soon as you begin to scale the effort up, the inertia of a fundamentally waterfall-oriented organization becomes painfully apparent. This is where many companies find themselves today. This webinar will address some key tips to driving agility beyond technology groups and making an entire company more adaptive and responsive.
OOP 2017 - Von Experimenten zu sprechen ist nicht schwer, sie effektiv zu nut...Ralf Kruse
Viele Firmen wollen sich durch eine Agile Transition für die Zukunft wappnen. Wenn wir dies ernst nehmen, sind tiefgreifende Änderungen in allen Bereichen der Organisation notwendig.
Eine Agile Transitionen ist eine Reise voller Unbekannter. Haben wir Unbekannte & Unsicherheiten, sollten wir es erstmal in limitierter Form ausprobieren. Was einfach klingt, stellt nichts weniger als das Selbstverständnis, alles zu wissen, in Frage. Oberflächliche und ineffektive Experimente sind die Folge. Wir wollen Wege aufzeigen, Experimente effektiv zu nutzen.
OOP 2017 - Durchdenken oder einfach mal machen?Ralf Kruse
Wie viel Vorbereitung und Klarheit braucht es eigentlich zur effektiven Entwicklung guter Produkte? Wann ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen mutig auszuprobieren & wann ist es fahrlässig? Wann ist es notwenig etwas gut zu durchdenken & wann ist es ineffektiv?
Eine Suche nach der richtigen Balance zwischen zwei vermeintlich gegensätzlichen, unvereinbaren Positionen.
The document discusses the role and value of a Scrum Master from a business perspective. It notes that a Scrum Master's job is to help the team perform better and more sustainably than without one through activities like meeting facilitation and impediment removal. It also addresses the importance of a Scrum Master having a clear mandate to be effective. The document proposes discussing case studies in small groups to gather new perspectives on how Scrum Masters can intervene more effectively to improve situations. It stresses the challenge of not just identifying solutions but following through to create real impact.
Disruptus Spiel - AUG Bremen Oldenburg von Kai Hermanns & Christian BeckRalf Kruse
Beim Disruptus-Spiel geht es um das Thema Innovation und um verschiedene Methoden, vorgegebene Objekte und Ideen auf eine neue Art und Weise zu kombinieren und dadurch neue Ideen zu generieren. Das Lenrspiel basiert auf dem "disruptive thinking" Konzept und wurde erfolgreich bei der Entwicklung neuer innovativer Produkte und Geschäftsmodelle, z.B. aus der digitalen Musik, Kamera-Handy's oder Car-Sharing eingesetzt.
Als agiler Coach rutscht man leicht in die Rolle des reinen Prozesswächters. Schnell fühlt es sich dann wie Don Quijotes ständiger Kampf gegen die Windmühlen an – ein aussichtsloses Unterfangen! Aber muss das so sein? Als wirksamer Coach bzw. Scrum Master sollte ich meine Arbeit so strukturieren können, dass ich mich in solchen Situationen zukünftig nicht mehr aufreibe. Wir beleuchten ganz praktische Optionen, wie der agile Coach z. B. durch einen Wechsel der Perspektive auf den Weg in ein aktivierendes Umfeld zurückfindet.
In der agilen Welt heißt es: Das Gespräch sei mindestens genauso wichtig, wie die geschriebene Anforderung. Nur, was bedeutet das eigentlich konkret? In dieser Session werden wir diesen wichtigen Aspekt von Agilität gemeinsam ganz praktisch erleben. Wir werden den Weg von der Generierung einer Idee bis hin zur Schaffung eines initialen Backlogs praktisch beschreiten und dabei erleben, welchen Einfluss diese enge Kollaboration in diesem Kontext und in Kombination mit der geschriebenen Vision und der Anforderung auf den Erfolg hat.
Is your organisation reaping the possible benefits of scaling agile? Ralf Kruse
Many organisations introduce agile and do not get what was promised: customers delighted by frequent releases of value, passionate employees, happily swarming on challenging problems... What is missing?
This provocative talk will enable you to ask the right questions to find the right answers for your organisation. You won't get to the top by copying others.
Agile, especially at scale, is a huge chance for your organisation and its people to thrive. Does this sound like your company?

Scrum is simple to explain, yet hard to implement. Often the mechanics are executed without adoption of the underlying principles and values. This happens often where management assumes that Scrum is “just for software development” and that nothing else needs changing. In such situations, Scrum roles, artifacts and events are understood in terms of the prevailing traditional mindset:
- backlog as a specification
- sprint as a small project
- ScrumMaster as project manager
- commitment as a fixed date & scope contract
While such an implementation of Scrum might deliver predictable results and lead to some improvements, it often fails to transform the organisational mindset and culture. Your business might do the wrong things righter instead of delivering better and better products to delight your customers. To achieve a transformation of mindset and culture, an organisation needs to avoid the pitfalls mentioned above and adopt Scrum as a framework that inspires everyone to continually challenge the status quo. One way to achieve this is using Scrum sprints as risk-limiting containers for safe-to-fail experiments. This enables you to deliberately discover the potential of your people's capability and your products' value. Reviews and retrospectives need to be leveraged to drive this continuous improvement process. The talk will increase awareness of these types of Scrum and help you to rather “be agile” instead of just “do agile”—using Scrum to drive that transformation.
The document describes a Kanban pizza game simulation used to help participants experience Kanban concepts in an engaging way. In the game, participants work together in a simulated pizza shop to make and deliver pizzas, earning and losing points along the way. The game is divided into rounds where different Kanban concepts like work in progress limits and visualizing workflow are introduced. Participants are given feedback on their score after each round and discuss lessons to improve their process. The overall goal is for participants to iteratively apply Kanban principles to maximize their score by optimizing their collaborative pizza production and delivery workflow.
