Troy This is exactly why I think scrum will be surpassed by kanban. The business should be deciding when a tease occurs, not an arbitrary decision to benefit...
Indeed. So what are the things we can learn from lean? For me, the most important principle is "pull". From pull, it is possible to identify the minimum...
My initial reaction is that the hard dichotomy between 'waste' and 'value added' is a hinderance. But, I don't feel informed enough to say why or how. jdn...
Well, Ok. I also gather that it all traces back to Toyota, but I've been trying to leave that aside (it will/would be an interesting rant, but not necessarily...
Well I imagine that to fit things into the presentation I glossed over things and that (a) my opinion or (b) the way I articulate some things has changed /...
Would be nice to hear real experience from someone experimenting a bit with this.. For example: trying Kanban with monthly demos.. After inserting a...

My dramatization of the bolt tightening as waste metaphor: you are on the side of a very busy freeway, it is 11:30 pm at night and pouring rain. You are...
... Yes, that's what's supposed to happen: do something radically different that has the same desired effect but is intrinsically less wasteful. That's not...
hi, I have a Scrum background, no personal experience with Lean or Kanban, but wish to learn all about L + K. ... This sounds very helpful to me. Like, if...
Sorry for the delayed response. It's a good question, and no, it's not presumptuous. I think having a common vocabulary is important. But I don't think the ...
The idea of "that's waste, don't do it" or "that's not working" versus thinking of new ways to do things... I think we're all quite excellent at identifying...

Hi, Corey Ladas has already done an excellent blog post (and a book as well!) on the concept of Scrum-ban - which shows how a Scrum team might evolve towards a...
... Thanks for re-posting this. I saw this when it first came out, but now that I'm more into the flow of things (pun? intended), a lot of it clicks more. jdn...
Our teams are on a kanban system but we still use iterations and an iteration planning meeting, iteration demo and retrospective. The iteration planning...
As the fat controller ( Scrum Master, Kanban Sensei whatever ) on the project, one of the things I struggled with was keeping track of the developer's...
