I like the concept/practice. I'm curious what the feedback has been from the clients. I see a lot of mention that 'you' think it's beneficial but has the...
I saw Benjamin recently using this approach during a presentation on "double-loop learning" at a conference. His presentation received high ratings from the...
Thanks for writing this up, Benjamin. I'm definitely going to try it next week when I'm meeting a client that wants to "talk" about Lean/Agile with me for an...
We've been using a kanban in meetings for about a year and a half now. We're in the middle of writing a book about the practice and our experience. Tonianne...
I introduced this exact concept to the SEI two years ago for use in conducting a 3-day immersion class on improving services. We put the entire backlog of...
Hi Jim, Interesting that you have voting. Do you simply rank/sequence them, or do you use a priority sieve or similar? Regards, Mike -- Mike Burrows Director,...
Robert: Yes, the client reaction has generally been positive (it goes from neutral to strongly positive in my experience). Feedback from a participant ... I...
Benjamin, I really liked your post, and think the simple interactive structure would work really well for intimate audiences. I could see this work really well...
Need some help from the big brains on this list. I am involved in a top down change to improve an IT organizations (300-500 ftes) performance within a top down...
Thanks for the detailed info on this, Benjamin. I'm wondering if you've found this type of meeting useful where the items in the "to do" queue require...
I've been using this approach extensively for workshops and meetings of 3-30 people and highly recommend it for semi structured And pull-driven formats. Ps I...
Jim, Did you manage to get it to work successfully with 80 people? How did you cope with people not willing to speak up in front of that many others? Or the...
David, I divided them up into 10 tables of 8. All of the tables had very lively discussions when the conversations were able to be intimate. I did one with 50...
Jeff: I would not say that Kanban says not to do this. Kanban suggests attending to the rate of change that people can attend to and then gives you a method...
Even the very idea of visibility helps people think in different ways. I have a client who is struggling with understanding where things get stuck in their...
(responding to Jeff) ... If you want to make *any* change stick, I'd suggest there are 4 key steps in the process. 1. The people who are doing the work need to...
Here's an example of an XP/Scrum/Kanban hybrid approach in a 60-person project. http://www.crisp.se/henrik.kniberg/Lean-from-the-trenches Any feedback is...
Hi Henrik, I don't have a Scrum background but still I recognise most of what you describe (though not all of it in one project). Very nice! I particularly...
Love it, lots of nuggets here I intend to mine. I like top the top 5 bugs queue, and limit of 30 bugs in database. In terms of tracking bugs being fixed, we...
Hi All, Based in feedback from this group and my blog I've made a few changes and am experimenting with a few things (listing time constraints explicitly,...
Dear Henrik, That's AWESOME! I still send your last "From the Trenches" book to all of our clients at the start of a project. I think this will be our book for...
Jeff, I wholly support you using a kanban or group of boards to show what teams are actually doing. Does the top down process embrace continuous improvement?...
