If we are in Kanban world when we think visualization we see a Kanban board. We see a process mapped into columns with limits attached to them. We see sticky notes, which represent minimal marketable features. We see additional visuals which help to show priorities, blockers, people who are responsible for a task etc. We […]

I use to say that you can’t lose being honest with me. There is no potential downside – only upside. I have no problems with critical opinions on me, others or the organization we’re part of. I don’t necessarily have to agree with these opinions but I want, and need, to know them. After all, […]

I spent last few days at Kanban Leadership Retreat. An original David Anderson’s idea was to gather in one place thought-leaders working on Kanban and provide them a platform to exchange experience, ideas and thoughts.

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. The interesting thing here is that when we think about the point where organization introduce formal PM […]
