... Hi Greg, Aside from chartering, I think it helps to * focus on the valuable chunks of work * know how to complete those chunks via small pieces of...
... To me it sounds like shipped is on the wrong side of done in your value stream. I.e. a potential bottleneck. Does a feature generate value before being...
... No it doesn't. Maybe I'll rename "Completed" to "ready to be shipped". My team ships every two weeks - currently continuously deployment is not a...
Yes, that is my point, Alan. Yet you are using the simplicity of the process of scrum to knock scrum, rather than look at the totality. Basically, giving...
... production =)". When it fills up we throw the feature cards in a dated envelope in a box. I agree with Eric that keeping some tasks on the board looks good...
It's not the term, it is concept I don't like. MMF is not a useful unit from a flow perspective because MMFs can vary in size by several orders of magnitude. ...

Hi David The concept is that you deliver based on value. You identify the value and then from that, the minimal number of features are delivered. In Joshua's ...
Dear All Re-reading David's post I realised that I had been making assumptions about other peoples understanding of releases and value. All releases should be...
Hi Chris, Not sure I agree with this. Certainly all releases are risky. Are big releases riskier than small releases? Not sure - they have been in the past...
Hi Tom I recently did an MMF which took about 6 months. To my mind that it is way too big a release to put in one go. As a result, we did several releases to ...
The degree of precision does vary. Sometimes it's known (for example, past a due date it might drop to 0). Mostly it's to create awareness for comparisons of...
Alan So integrating an s-curve might give cost of delay an element of accuracy that is inappropriate? Please could you give an example of where you have used...
I have a client who is building some handheld software to support their business. IT is very excited about a number of features that will improve the user...
I have never mentioned s curves. Specific examples on real projects (vanillaized for NDA reasons) are features that have mandated government implementation...
Hi Chris, Thanks for this. de-coupling MMF's from the unit of release, makes the concept much more viable in my mind. can see how the use of MMF's could aid...
Hi All, Doing what makes sense first is just common sense IMHO. The project at Network Rail I described earlier. The actual laying of new track is performed by...
... The way I'm using it is not to be precise and not to actually use such a function directly. I'm trying to characterize the curves (think big-O notation)...
Hi Chris, Yes. I read your article, and I would recommend it to others. I agree that there are guidelines that can help guide the discussion. In the end we...
No. We are not calculating a value. In fact if you were paying attention in Chicago (as you were in my session) you would have heard me say that calculating a...
We can have Don focus on whatever he and we would like him to focus on in his key note. I will tend to take input on this from people who are confirmed...
David Thanks for this. Do you have a diagram showing how the shape of the cost of delay function maps to the class of service? Chris ... -- Regards Chris Matts...

Excellent! This is precisely the mode that I feel "cost of delay" is most effective with Kanban. Must incorporate the learning from this thread into the...
David This is very valuable and has helped me understand more about how you use cost of delay. The diagrams will make it even clearer. I find some of the...
There is some in the book chapter draft that you already have but I will be updating these. Most likely won't have time now to work on this until after Dec...
