The document discusses motivation and Kanban. It describes motivation as being driven by autonomy, competence, and relatedness according to self-determination theory. Kanban supports developing these factors by providing autonomy over work, opportunities to gain competence, and fostering relatedness among team members. The document provides examples of how incentive metrics can undermine motivation and suggests ways teams can apply Kanban principles in practice to boost motivation, such as using idea angels and acting as motivation heroes.
