17


Communicating it is dangerous

Not prioritized

based on wishful thinking Calculated without wait time

Taken for granted


Tracking on the wrong level

Ignoring facts

Please let the team finish overnight or make somebody else fail before us


Time for overtime

KANBAN REMINDER

33


There is not only one way

34


Kanban is like water

35


4 guiding principles

! Start with what you do now ! Agree to pursue evolutionary change ! Initially, respect current processes, roles,

responsibilities and job titles ! Encourage acts of leadership at all levels

36


6 core practices

! Visualize ! Limit Work-in-Progress ! Manage Flow ! Make Policies Explicit ! Implement Feedback Loops ! Improve Collaboratively, evolve

experimentally

37


KANBAN DOES NOT MANDATE:

New roles

39


New team structures

40


Or new ceremonies
