I’ve been lucky enough that throughout my career I’ve had occasions to work on different levels: from personal (that’s pretty much everyone’s experience, isn’t it?), though team and project to program / PMO / portfolio level. Not only that. In most of my jobs I’ve been involved in all levels of work concurrently. This means […]

Throughout years of my professional career I’ve heard all sorts of ideas what makes a project attractive for people working on it. A favorite technology. Greenfield work with no legacy code. Scalability challenges. Number of users. Potential to change the world. A genuine idea. Big money involved. Freedom to choose any tools. Code quality. Probably […]

We’ve just started another project. One of things we’ve set up at the very beginning was a Kanban board. It wouldn’t be a real Kanban board if we haven’t had work in progress limits. There are two common approaches I see out there in terms of setting WIP limits. One is to work for some […]

The idea of no estimates (or #NoEstimates) is all hot these days. People would choose different parties and fight a hell of fight just to prove their arguments are valid, they are right and the other party got it all wrong. I’d occasionally get into the crossfire by leaving a general comment on a thread […]

One of charts that give you a quick overview of what’s happening in a project or product work is Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD). On one hand in CFD you can find typical information about status of work: how much work is done, ongoing and in backlog, what is the pace of progress, etc. This is […]

One of reasons why Kanban Leadership Retreat (KLRAT) is such an awesome event is that it pushes our understanding of Kanban to a new level. No surprise that after the retreat there’s going to be much content related our work in Mayrhofen published here. One of sessions was at KLRAT was dedicated to sort out […]

Some of you who pay more attention to what is happening in the Lean Kanban community may have noticed that there’s an ongoing discussion about what Kanban is or should be. It’s not about what do we use Kanban for but how exactly we define Kanban. Another incarnation of this discussion was started by Al […]

This year’s Kanban Leadership Retreat (KLRAT), as always, was awesome. In fact, despite sharing some critical feedback during retro session at the very end of the event, I still consider it the best event of the year, hands down. This year I’ve come back home with the biggest homework ever: experiments to try out, ideas […]

One of frequently mentioned management ideas these days is that we don’t need management. If I got a free beer every time I’ve heard the examples of W.L. Gore, Valve or GitHub and how we should act as they do I could stay drunk for weeks without needing to buy any alcohol. A common message […]

One of the most valuable goals achieved by Eric Ries’ Lean Startup is popularizing the term Minimal Viable Product (MVP). Of course the concept isn’t novel. We were using the Minimal Marketable Feature (MMF) idea back in the early days of Kanban and it was coined based on the same way of thinking. There are […]
