Podcasts about kanban method

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by two external guests for Kanban University: Joey Spooner, Vice President for Community Development and Product Management, and Todd Little, Chairman of Kanban University.   In this episode, experts from Kanban University join the podcast to share their expertise with the audience. Listen to this conversation and learn about the trajectory of Kanban University and its fantastic community. Also, they dive into a profound exploration of what Kanban Methodology really is and how it can improve what you are already doing.   Key Takeaways What is Kanban? Kanban University has been educating a vast community on its method since 2013. The Kanban method is often misunderstood. Some significant aspects characterize the Kanban Methodology. It is a way to visualize the workflow, called operational practice. There are also Management Practices, which consist of taking and managing policies effectively in an organization. The practices of collaboration and experimentation are also of crucial importance. Kanban can also be used as a complementary practice to Scrum. A fundamental principle of the Kanban Methodology is to Start with what you do now. If you have started with Scrum, you can improve it with Kanban. Kanban is fundamentally an approach to improving your process framework; it isn't a framework itself. The Kanban Method vs. the Lean Manufacturing: Lean Manufacturing aims to remove uncertainty, which is conceived as a waste. Sometimes, uncertainty does not need to be eliminated; it is inherited, and often, it is this uncertainty that brings value. Kanban tries to understand knowledge work and its behaviors while still representing the workflow. How does Kanban manage the predictability challenge while doing complex work? There are three common challenges while working with complex work: Delay, Dependencies, and Dormancies. Every Team needs to explore possible solutions for these challenges. Check Team reliability. An approach to predictability: Do more and better estimates. Advice for Scrum Practitioners starting to use Kanban: You can use Kaban on top of what you are doing with Scrum for more efficiency. Kanban tools allow Teams to stay focused and deliver consistently. Find first what your struggle is at the moment and see how Kanban can help with it. Learn to manage resistance to change and get accustomed to constant evolutionary change. Learn from the water's capacity for adapting to its environment. Agile needs to adapt to culture as much as a culture needs to adapt to Agility. Take small steps. You have to get your system under control, map it out, and ensure it is not overloaded. If a system is overloaded, it is not predictable.   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch? Visit the website and catch up with all the episodes on AgileThought.com!

As the co-founder and CEO of ActionableAgile, Daniel provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services for any Lean-Agile process.   Topics of Discussion: [4:19] Daniel explains why he feels as though the right curriculum is not yet taught in college. [8:00] It's important to bridge your conversations both in terms of the risk and your ability to deliver on a date in terms of risk. Then, you can have a conversation about what you want to do as a business to mitigate the risks and also accept that they are there in the first place. [10:14] Daniel explains his more data-informed approach when asked how long something is going to take. Jeffrey asks, but how do we find the data that helps us make informed decisions in the first place? [14:43] What are those numbers that give the right visibility? [16;03] The four aspects every manager of a software team should have at their disposal and be monitoring: Work in progress Throughput Cycle Time The age of items that they are working on right now [19:00] Our ability to come up with ideas is always going to outstrip our ability to execute them. That's why backlogs grow over time. [21:49] Daniel explains the method to go from using Azure DevOps to having numbers at your disposal, and what are the two important pieces of data that you need? [24:41] How does the ActionableAgile tool help when every team board is totally different? [28:44] If your engineering practices are continuous, your process should be continuous as well.   Mentioned in this Episode: Architect Tips — New video podcast!

HIGHLIGHTSA lifetime of learning What is Kanban? The Kanban Iceberg: it's not just about sign cards Explaining FlowWhat does a flow manager do? Measuring Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)The Agile ManifestoHow to coach a team on XP (Extreme Programming) On Service Delivery Review Measuring outcome vs outputQUOTESMatt: "It's been really nice to see how different people are doing things and learning from other people and different places and pick up bits and pieces. For me, an agile mindset is one of learning and so picking up bits and pieces where people are doing some interesting things, trying interesting things, and that's what I've just done. Very little of what I've done is my own novel idea. It's really just incorporating other people's ideas and making it work."   Matt: "Kanban helps us to see how our work works. It's really making visible the work systems that we work in." Matt: In knowledge work, where we are in, intangible goods, it's harder to see the work. It's stuff that lives in our computers and in the cloud, and so it's not quite as transparent and visible as in a physical goods environment. Matt: "It's a way of, I talk about humanizing work. For me, seeing how actual people were doing work can be overburdened and stressed out by having too much work to work on, or not having a visibility into how things are working. And so it's about the work's sake, but also the worker's sake that I really find Kanban to be a helpful way of thinking really about our work."Matt: "The Kanban Iceberg metaphor that I've used in the past is, that which is seen at the top of the iceberg, which is the sign cards or the cork boards. But there's so much of the Kanban method that's below the surface. Not quite as easily seen. I think about the other practices, the principles, and the values."Matt: "In my experience, I've experienced lots of different places that say Agile and do Agile. My very first experience was doing XP extreme programming orientation. My main experience is initially doing Agile stuff from an XP standpoint. For me that's really valuable because I understood the importance of engineering excellence and technical excellence as opposed to just the organizing principles of some methods that are useful but don't necessarily speak to what code looks like and what deliverable work should look like." Matt: "Make it okay to fail. We talk a lot about psychological safety. Making it clear that it's okay that you're not gonna get it right the first time. And being resilient in that experience and to learn from those things." Matt: "If doing something fast is important, there's tradeoffs obviously, maybe the quality suffers but sometimes the customer's okay with that. It takes a very important conversation to make them aware of the implications of taking some shortcuts with code. But one of the things that I find useful, for example, is predictability. Being able to be predictable in delivery, to the extent that we have control over some of these sources of variation and impact." Learn more about Matt in the link below:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewphilip/Website: http://mattphilip.wordpress.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattphilip

The Great Product Owner: Consistently creating positive conversations with stakeholders and Agile teams A great Product Owner is consistent in their approach. Lucia shares with us how this particular PO was able to be consistent in their communication and support for the team, but also in looking outside, getting ideas and inspiration from competitors and the market at large. As the PO consistently communicated with the team and stakeholders, they were creating regular and productive invitations for a conversation with stakeholders and team members.  The Bad Product Owner: How to help your PO shine even when they are super-busy! When the Product Owner is overloaded, they lose focus, and are unable to serve the teams at the right time, and in the right amount. In this segment, we hear the story of the PO that was so busy that they could only be a scatter-shot PO. Randomly giving ideas and demands to the team, who was lost with the lack of support from the PO. In this segment, we talk about how important it is to help the PO focus, and work within the limited time they might have to help the team. As Scrum Master, this is one of our major tasks: help the PO shine, even when they are super busy!  Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner? We've put together a course to help you work on the collaboration team-product owner. You can find it at bit.ly/coachyourpo. 18 modules, 8+ hours of modules with tools and techniques that you can use to help teams and PO's collaborate.

When it comes to assessing her own success as a Scrum Master, Lucia uses the “health” metaphor to identify and measure critical aspects of a healthy team. In this episode, we talk about The Squad Health Check. The Squad Health Check was also described in these episodes. We also mention Radical Candor, as a feedback framework as well as Clean Language. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Lean Coffee, the swiss army knife of Agile Retrospectives Lucia likes to try many formats, but there's one format she often comes back to thanks to its power to spark creative, and insightful conversations. That format is the Lean Coffee Retrospective format, which focuses the team's conversations instead of trying to cover too many things in a retrospective.

Mike Burrows - Wholehearted, Agile Renaissance ManEsteemed consultant, facilitator, trainer, founder of Agendashift and author, Mike Burrows, has built his reputation on years of senior, global IT executive leadership followed by expert consultancy and training. His books are “go to” for anyone interest in change agile, and Kanban.2020 has prompted a substantial revision, rewrite even, of his 2018 classic community handbook Agendashift, reflecting the change over just 2-3 years even before the pandemic. Change and transformation and the practice of it, has changed dramatically and Mike is an expert navigator. Mike explains the right to left thinking necessary to bring about deep change in organisations.In addition to Mike's reputation for demonstrating the power of Kanban, he has great command across all the frameworks and illustrates the usefulness of scrum in delivery (including Govt.) But there is a caveat: Mike is extremely clear about what he believes scrum is and what it is not. Moreover how the wrong practices across the business world are killing agile. New practitioners please tune in at 8.00 in particular!Impossible to summarise here, Mike effortlessly moves from team and delivery right up to strategy and culture, full of calm, well informed insight and expertise. His website https://www.agendashift.com curates a huge body of work - a gateway to tools, frameworks and thinking. If you are considering the outcomes you want to achieve this is a great resource. Later on we have a simple entry into the world of clean language that could change the way you ask questions.There are times we wonder how far we have come. Mike brings enormous enthusiasm to achieving sustained business agility that is authentic and humane. He explains how to bring about accountable learning. How different communities are now working together digging deep to find new foundations. Revisiting core work such as servant leadership and making it engaging and accessible. Mike is not the expert telling you what's wrong with the organisation, but rather helping the organisation working out how to do it for itself. Essentially, If you are hearing about right to left and outcomes and wondering how to help your organisation, to be whole hearted, this is a great place to start.Turn your reports upside down and get out of your comfort zone!Agendashift revised is forecast to arrive early in 2021.The fourth book ....?https://www.agendashift.com Agendashift on SlackLinkedIn group: AgendashiftTwitter: @agendashiftBlog: blog.agendashift.comMike's Books:Right to Left: The digital leader's guide to Lean and Agile (2019)Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2018)Kanban from the Inside: Understand the Kanban Method, connect it to what you already know, introduce it with impact (2014)References:Robert Keegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey - An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental OrganizationStafford Beer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford_Beer#agile #agility #leadershiphttps://agilitybynature.com/contact-us/ Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

OKR und Kanban – als ich das Thema neulich bei Twitter erwähnte, schlugen mir interessante Reaktionen entgegen. Von "Funktioniert super" bis zu den Reaktionen, die meinen Standpunkt unterstützen, war alles dabei. Ich habe mir die beiden mal ein wenig genauer angesehen und bemerkt: Eigentlich haben die so gut wie nix gemeinsam. Klar, dass die miteinander funktionieren: Die Schnittmenge ist einfach total gering.In dieser Episode hörst du, was ich zu der Kombination sonst noch so zu sagen habe.Hast du eine andere Meinung? Dann teile sie gerne mit mir, vielleicht per E-Mail. Oder du nimmst entweder selbst einen Podcast auf oder schreibst einen Blogpost. Das verlinke ich dann gerne in der nächsten Episode!Unbezahlte Werbung: Die Kanban Community Days sind es wert, genauer angeschaut zu werden. Vielleicht magst duauch teilnehmen?

A couple quick notes, exclusively for reading in your podcast app: I want to make sure that I'm creating the best podcast episodes for you where you're at in your business and where you want to take things, so please go to https://callwithjaime.com to book a short call where you'll get to share whatever you want with me and I'll just be taking notes. If you want to get your tech in order, I would love to do a top-to-bottom tech audit with you. Ping me wherever we are connected, and I'll send over the link. Tech audits are a great way regain control and confidence in your tech and most of the time we'll be able to save you money on monthly expenses! This conversation, with Natalie Gingrich has a Trello heavy focus because Nat is a project manager and her clients hire her to help them accomplish their projects – and Trello is a fantastic tool for project management… when setup right and adopted by all parties, as we'll get into in the episode. Nat describes herself as not doing the tech or being behind the tech, she is 100% over the tech. It's truly a great way to look at her role – she's staying in her lane and driving the projects as they need to be driven without getting into the weeds. The primary tool that Nat uses in her business is, like I said before, Trello – and she uses it not only for project management but also with her team for communication. She uses the alerts function inside Trello to see where people are communicating. The team structure and SOP is that you tag someone when you need to connect with them, and you follow cards or boards when you need to be kept apprised of the going-ons. Nat loves Trello because it's visual and beautiful. It's inviting for her to spend time in the tool. Dissecting Trello A Board: The container – can be used for one idea, one thought or one project. This is a named entity, so that you can easily find this board among all the other boards in your Trello account. Our sample board is : Podcast A Column: Another container that contains a theme of the overall board. Each column will have headings. For our sample this might be : Logistics A Card: An individual container for a single aspect or thought or requirement for the theme of the column that resides in the overall board. And each card will have the aspect that needs to be addressed. For the sample it will be things like : Podcast Name, Podcast Host, etc. Trello comes from the Kanban Method, which is a process developed by engineers at Toyota way back in the day when they were going from design to production. The Trello engineers were using sticky notes on a wall under the headings of “What do we need to do”, “What is being done” and “What is being completed.” And those smart engineers saw this as something that could be translated to the screen and help many other businesses with workflows and processes. Learn more about the KANBAN METHOD Let's get super practical… your first step with a new project is likely going to be a brainstorming session – where all the thoughts end up on sticky notes (either the real paper kind or a single column in Trello) and then we're going to try to clean it up. The first clean up step is to categorize things into LIKE…whether it's like steps or phase – remember, you get to choose how you will put this Trello board together. “I get to know how they think, how they process, how they compartmentalize things and it does overall change the function of the board.” – Natalie Gingrich Throughout the episode, Nat and I have been building a Trello board for a podcast launch… so let's get back to that. Our cards are in nice, well labelled columns. For the work to be done, we will assign a card to an individual on the team and give that card a due date. The project manager (or task assigner) can write additional notes. Within each card, team members can communicate back and forth. And, if there is an asset that is created within the constructs of this task, that file can be inserted directly onto the card – or linked out to a cloud storage repository where the file is uploaded.) Once the work on that card is done, we'll move it to another column that contains all the completed tasks. Nat suggests Completed or Done and then goes on to say or you could call that column something creative like Celebrate! We're done with this! This column shows us what has been achieved. There is also the ability to archive a card – this is particularly useful for something that turns out to not be relevant to the project. If work has been done and it's complete, it's far better to have a column that contains the completed card rather than throwing the card into the archive abyss.  Here's a Nat HACK – If she cannot see all the cards in a column on her big monitor, she'll compartmentalize a bit further so that she can! Continuing with our example… we've got the podcast launched and now we need to create our episodes – in Trello you can actually copy a card or a column from one board to another. So, we could copy our entire branding column from the pre-launch board to our active podcast production board. Nat terms this as a workflow board more than a project board, as it's something we're going to repeat episode after episode for the duration of the podcast. “Your board for getting the project started could look vastly different than the board that represents the workflow for getting subsequent content released” Within the workflow board, Natalie recommends keeping everything pertinent to that entity within the card… and she even went on to share how easily Trello can integrate with other online tools, like Dropbox. Of course, this put me on a well-loved tangent – integration between components. I call it “adding pointers between entities.” A project management tool is the perfect hub for containing these pointers because it helps you run an efficient business! Trello has the ability to work for projects and workflows in a lot of businesses and in your personal life! I asked Nat to get super concrete to help you see opportunities where Trello might be a good option.  Nat used to rely on linear functionality – to do lists, checklists and such, but the aesthetics of Trello opened her up to trying it… and she tried it first in her personal life. Once she got that board working well, she didn't have to go back and re-work it – she actually still uses that same board! The personal board consists of housework, store returns, things that needed doing, household projects, calls to make, errands and computer tasks. She also uses Trello as her planner. She looks at it each evening as she wraps up her day. Because she knows when she can schedule personal time, she then is able to move cards from their column to the today column. From there, she'll be productive in her personal work block and be able to move those cards to the complete column and make room for new today tasks! Let's extrapolate out beyond the single board. Natalie rounds out the conversation explaining that she can easily see what is assigned and actively being worked on by her team members, because of the expectation of everything having assigned team members and due dates. Want to see how Natalie gets things going in Trello for her clients, go to https://nataliegingrich.com/productiveweek/ which is a fantastic tutorial! And finally, it wouldn't be a complete Trello conversation without talking about the Trello app… Nat and I are both moms of gymnasts (and she adds complexity because her son is also an athlete). She uses the app extensively while waiting at practice, and it does everything she wants and needs, except that she cannot copy a link from one card and paste it on another. And because she is generally on her phone as she is transitioning from the work day to the mom day, that personal board gets a lot of use on her phone!

SPaMCAST 486 features our interview with Daniel S. Vacanti.  Mr. Vacanti is the author of Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction.  We discussed the concepts in the book, answered a question from Steven Adams, and talked about his new book.  It was great to talk about a book with the author after the re-read. Daniel Vacanti’s Bio: Daniel Vacanti is a 20-plus year software industry veteran who has spent most of his career focusing on Lean and Agile practices.  In 2007, he helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work and managed the world’s first project implementation of Kanban that year.  He has been conducting Lean-Agile training, coaching, and consulting ever since. In 2011 he founded ActionableAgileTM (previously Corporate Kanban) which provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services organizations that utilize Lean-Agile practices.  In 2015 he published his book, “Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability”, which is the definitive guide to flow-based metrics and analytics. Daniel holds an M.B.A. and regularly teaches a class on lean principles for software management at the University of California Berkeley. Contact Information: Twitter:  @danvacanti LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielvacanti/ Mail: daniel@actionableagile.com Web: https://www.actionableagile.com/ Re-Read Saturday News We will begin the full-scale re-read of L. David Marquet’s Turn the Ship Around! next week and I am stoked. Buy your copy and listen to the interview I did with Mr. Marquet (SPaMCAST 202) to get involved in the re-read.  I am going to lead the re-read from my 2012 (7th printing) copy.  The book has 29 chapters, not including the forward, a cast of characters, index, afterword, and a glossary. The book is an easy read because Marquet is such an excellent communicator.  My intent is to knock out the preface material next week and then begin delivering 2 chapters per week. If my estimating ability holds true, we will complete our re-read in 18 weeks. I expect to miss two weeks due to travel.   Upcoming Webinars and Conferences QAI Quest 2018 The Three Amigo’s Role in Agile May 21-25, 2018, San Antonio, Texas ISMA 15 May 11 Rome, Italy I will also be at Agile West on June 7th (my birthday!) Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 487 opens with our essay, Don’t Shortcut Shu Ha Ri. I spend several hours every week running – on purpose. I don’t run very fast, which means I have the occasional fall because my mind wanders, I inflict very little damage to the ground due to the low inertial load.  This is a preamble to let you know that I have lots of time to think when I run (which is the reason the ground occasionally gets in my way). Recently I have been thinking about just how rigorously practitioners need to follow processes, methods, and frameworks and when it makes sense to tweak processes to fit the culture. Our second column will introduce a new column from Susan Parente.  Susan’s new column is titled, “I Am Not A Scrumdamentalist.” Susan originally appeared on SPaMCAST 344 -- http://bit.ly/2GDl6Px In our final column in the SPaMCAST 487 features Jon M Quigley who brings his Alpha and Omega of Product Development column to the cast.

  I recently was introduced to the Kanban method and it piqued my interest for many reasons. One, it's the final quarter of the year and I am about to go into a big audit of my business - what's working, what's not, what pots of gold are we sitting on and how best can I use my team to help uncover these. Two, I'm all about continually improving what I do, and who I am, and this is one of the key principles behind the Kanban method. The Kanban Method, as formulated by David J. Anderson, is an approach to incremental, evolutionary process and systems change for organizations. It was originally developed by an engineer in a Toyota Factory to overhaul their systems and delivery. It uses visualization via a kanban board of intangible work items - an important aspect of Kanban since it allows a greater understanding of both the work and the workflow. It also advocates limiting work in progress, which as well as reducing waste due to multitasking and context switching, exposes any operational problems your business my have and stimulates collaboration to continuously improve the system Put more simply it's a way to: Organize the chaos that you create in your business or that you and your team create by making the need for prioritization and focus clear. Uncover workflow and process problems in order to solve them and then be able to deliver more consistently to your customers and clients.
