Spirit of
Kanban
Rev 0.1 2011-07-01 [Voxeo]
What(on earth)is this talk
about?
KANBAN is an approach to managing workflow and organizational improvement that holds great promise for Voxeo, but is not yet widely used or understood by Voxeons.
KANBAN provides a simple method for visualizing, measuring and optimizing the flow of work within an organization. Its principles can be applied in almost any context, from your personal or team to-do list to the organizational product pipeline.
This presentation will outline how to get started with Kanban, describe how Kanban is already being used at Voxeo, and encourage discussion of where else we might like to try using Kanban to make Voxeo a better place to work.

SCRUM IS HARD TO DO WELL
Adoption is widespread – Agile and Scrum are now mainstream
May be embraced as a pendulum swing or reaction to traditional PM
Requires a level of continuous discipline that many organizations find difficult to sustain
Sometimes becomes a cover for ad-hoc processes, de-emphasizing discipline, focus, quality, engineering best practice
Can require many, many (many) meetings (particularly at scale)
