While most Kanban games usually focus only on the flow of an existing Kanban system demonstrating the path from an existing process to Kanban, this game allows you to learn more about the Kanban philosophy and how to work with it. Learning by doing and having fun at the same time.

Don’t let work pile up at any
step in the flow
21. Evaluate: The 6 Kanban pillars
1. Visualise the workflow
What steps does your work
go through?
3. Manage the flow
Lead time, cycle time,
throughput
2. Limit work in progress

Don’t let work pile up at any
step in the flow
22. Evaluate: The 6 Kanban pillars
4. Implement feedback
loops
Are you regularly reviewing
your work and processes?
6. Improve collaboratively,
improve experimentally
Use metrics and models to
continuously improve,
collaboratively
5. Make Process Policies
Explicit
Make it easy for people to
do the right things, and to

23. Draw your workflow
Look back to the game Use your materials
to make it look nice
Draw the flow

24. Feedback
Show the group your BEST slice

28. WHAT DID WE LEARN?
WHAT CAN WE USE?
• What will you remember
from today?
• Was it useful?
