Hi, I agree with Royd. I often refer to my process improvement attempts as time boxed experiments that will be evaluated. I also communicate that at least 50%...
Tony, Did you see the taxonomies for the axes in the full slide deck? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33524813/DepthOfKanban.pptx Let me know if this sufficient...
See your graph, it also makes me realize we should standardize on the positions of the axes to make visual comparison easier. Thanks for being (AFAIK) the...
I think the Kiveat-style diagram is a very useful visualization for a relative depth of a single Kanban implementation. But I am not sure if it is a useful...
I now refer to these as the core practices. Core properties is a reference to complex adaptive systems and the necessary starting conditions for adaptation to...
I'm working with a Kanban initiative leader and recent 3-day class attendee from the investment backing / trading floor space on the concept of "Real...
It is a great price but I really don't want to travel in the summer. I already have to make a trip to Brazil and I've reluctantly decided to miss CALM Beta. I...
Good point! It's a good thing that we allow for some variation within the standard definition in the LKU curriculum. Context is important. I'm going to be...
Hi David, ... In my experience, one of the biggest problems project leaders and team members have in complex environments is just getting a handle of what's ...
David et al, I'm a great believer in this type of visualization for quickly getting the "gist" of state. I've seen them used a lot in assessing organization...
Martin, I think your story underscores why I've encouraged gentle Kanban adoption and not insisted that there must be a kanban system in place initially in...
I think coming up with measurements and then putting it in radar diagram (I've never heard of Kiveat style diagram. Â Radar is what is used in Excel) Â rocks...
It was Rich Turner that told me these are known as Kiveat diagrams when used in multi-dimensional risk assessment. If Excel calls them "radar" charts that is...
I'm not sure if they can do multiple scales in Excel but it might make sense to standarize the scales across all dimensions for simplicity anyway. You could...
I think this is very dangerous. I want the scales to qualitative in nature and use taxonomies. I fear that the graphing tool will dictate the solution and it...
Good points made about both the questionable desirability of reaching a certain depth and the difference between acknowledging potential misuse from ignoring...
For 3 kanban kata, instead of 1, 2, 3, you. Have 1, 3, 7. If there are more than 7 things to track, have distribute the weight evenly. So if 14 things, each...
I think what has been discovered is a new way to visualize kanban maturity. Hats off to the #klrat group that acknowledged parallel development/growth of...
Tony, I accept that we can even up the scales on the axes. I am very afraid of people calculating "overall scores." I am not convinced this is a useful idea...
Dave, Wise words! As we've learned over the last 5 years, gently does it. Now we have this concept and tool we need to gather stories of their usage before we...
Not having been able to attend KLRAT, I'm wondering whether the risk to innovation was discussed at all? Could the definition of steps in each scale lead to...
Karl, The ticks on each axis were not discussed at all at KLRAT, there wasn't time. What I presented last week is my own work building on the KLRAT work, and...
Karl, Yes we had a short discussion in the session of the danger of making the steps and/or scales explicit. When I first drew the spider chart I added tick...
Some kiviat diagrams have been posted on the Limited WIP Society site here: http://limitedwipsociety.ning.com/photo/albums/kiviat-diagrams-depth-of-kanban It...
HI Manuel, A traditional approach (not in itself a bad one) would be to visualise committed effort by month or by week in a column chart. That should give you...
My rough thoughts on the matter are based on how the decision to commit to a project is made. If the decision to commit to a project can be made quickly, on...
Hi Mike Thanks for your reply, perhaps would have been useful to mention that this is a professsional service firm managing a number of software projects for a...
Thanks for the reply Kurt, because this is a professional services team working with external clients we cannot let teams or people pull up projects and start...
