(1) As Corey pointed out on Twitter - lots of Cumulative Flow diagrams, very few
control charts. This indicates that while Kanban teams can get to high maturity,
very few are there yet. I want to encourage this trend and get more teams to a
Quantitatively Managed state of maturity. Alisson Vale and Phidelis are
definitely there - even though they aren't using control charts.

(2) Classes of Service and Risk Management are the big important topics going
forward. Dean Leffingwell's language of "allocate rather than prioritize"
resonated with me and better articulates what I'd been saying about setting WIP
limits on classes of service. Lots more to come on this topic going forward...
