Kanban in Action
Abstract
Kanban is one of the newer agile methodologies. This session introduces Kanban, explains what it is, how it works and how it can be applied to software development.
Kanban acts to limit work-in-progress and focus the team on achieving a continuous flow of value to the customer. Kanban innovates on accepted agile management practice by providing an iteration-less process with a regular release cadence. It helps achieve a balance of demand against capacity on the team and eliminate multi-tasking.
Although loosely based on Toyota Production System, the Kanban software development community has taken the underlying principles of TPS and used them to achieve a similar results in software development.
Kanban teams value: Quality, limited work-in-progress, balance capacity against demand and prioritization.
In this session we'll discuss Kanban, its values, flow, cadence, theory of constraints, bottlenecks and of course how to apply these in real projects.
