Kanban and Accelerated Emergence of High Maturity

Published November 18th, 2010 Under Agile, Lean | Leave a Comment

Kanban is proving a key enabler in the development of a kaizen culture and has been shown to create the emergence of high maturity behaviors (CMMI model level 4 & 5) whilst remaining true to Agile and Lean values. This presentation is based on case studies over a four year period. Teams using Kanban are empirically observed to practice quantitative management with many utilizing statistical process control as part of an objective continuous improvement and project management program. Cross team process performance appraisal has been observed. Root cause analysis and elimination is often commonplace and a Toyota style kaizen and kaka improvement program is also common. Kanban teams have been seen to evolve to these high maturity practices in unprecedented short time frames such as 9 months. This presentation will discuss why high maturity is both desirable and necessary from a business perspective and a process adoption perspective, report evidence of high maturity on teams using Kanban, discuss the emergence of high maturity behavior without a formal process definition, and debate the cultural reasons why Kanban may be responsible for accelerated achievement of high maturity.

Dogfooding Kanban

Published November 8th, 2010 Under Lean, Project Management | Leave a Comment

Chris Hefley is President and co-founder of Bandit Software, the makers of the online Kanban tool “LeanKit Kanban”. About a year ago, we began to assemble an international team of developers to build out the software we had envisioned. If you need a break from erudite dispositions, scholarly research, hard evidence and sound theory, then stop by and hear this collection of tidbits, tall tales and unfounded accusations. It’s about learning to walk, and those moments where we looked at each other and said “Dude…we suck at Kanban” – and what we did to get better at it. In this session, we’ll share some lessons learned from dogfooding our own product, managing a highly distributed team, working 19 hours a day, and figuring out how to apply Kanban to our own development process. We’ll also talk about things we’ve learned from observing and interacting with our users – how they’ve responded to an electronic kanban tool, and how they’ve implemented kanban in their organizations.

Lean Quality Assurance

Published November 2nd, 2010 Under Lean, Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Quality Assurance (QA) in software worldwide has in fact degenerated into testing alone. Software?IT management has ignorantly allowed this to happen. Of course many parts of the industry have been well–aware of more cost–effective ways of delivering required quality in practice, but this has in fact been largely ignored; while granting very large resources to testing alone. We know how to do real QA much much better than testing alone, using smarter upstream engineering practices, based on design, prevention and upstream inspections.

The Kanban Story – Ups and Downs of Implementing Kanban

Published October 25th, 2010 Under Agile, Lean | Leave a Comment

Kanban is the lightest methodology used to support software project management these days. Kanban has also the lowest possible entry barrier for teams willing to implement it. That doesn’t mean Kanban is a sure shot method to improve performance in every environment. The presentation will go through real-life Kanban implementation pointing its strengths and weaknesses. Background story shows not only basics of Kanban but also presents how, and why, the way team uses the method is evolving over time. After listening to the speech attendant should learn where Kanban shows its full potential and where its impact is limited
