I have a question for you: when was the last time you did an experiment on work you do? I mean if you are a developer when did you try something new: new practice, new way of doing things, maybe new technology to deal with a problem? If you are a project manager when you […]

My session at GOTO Copenhagen was on Kanban improvements. My goal was to show the mechanics of improvements in teams adopting Kanban and you probably know me enough to know I wanted to build the session over real-life examples. Here is what I ended up with. Kanban Improvements – Emergent Behavior The result was a […]

It’s been some time from the previous chapter of the Kanban Story but it doesn’t mean we’ve stalled. There’s an interesting concept which I keep referring to but only recently realized I’d never really written about it. The concept is called standard-sized features. If you read about Kanban you just have to be familiar with […]

Recently I came across a very interesting question on Project Management Stack Overflow. The question is how to organize project management in tiny projects, where everything is done by a single person or just a couple of them.

These days every blog discussing agile topics should have a big hairy article on Scrum versus Kanban, so here it is. Well, just joking. Actually many people, way wiser than me, approached that subject some time ago already presenting different arguments. If you want to hear some of the strongest opinions out there check Ken […]

As I’ve already started working on my session for ACE Conference 2011 I tinker at different improvements introduced by Kanban and the way they pop out. Actually if I had to point a single, most surprising for me, feature of Kanban I’d point exactly the way it fosters improvements. When we were starting with Kanban […]
