I don't know about 'ship it anyway'. If it doesn't have wheels, then in the next iteration, if building a car is still your top priority, then you would replan...
I use the terms cycle time and lead time interchangeably because they are the same but the naming depends on point of view. Within the engineering team, we...
Thanks Ted! I appreciate these comments! It is really hard to articulate everything necessary in a forum with limited bandwidth and it takes a lot of energy....
This is a very good point and i think one of the key motivators for why someone would consider the kanban approach. Corey's been working on a list of reasons...
Well... I can only speak for myself when I say how much I have appreciated Corey and David sharing their ideas and experiences about what they are doing at ...
Hi All Just had a great chat with David. I feel and from his e:mail at the weekend that this group is a huge success and a huge failure at the same time...... ...
Rock on, Chris. Ron! Come baaaaack! (I'm thinking more in line with Shane than Lassie, here) IMHO this is one of the few innovations currently happening WRT ...
Kanban System for Sustaining Engineering (KSSE) and I would believe it to be pronounced kiss-ee. Even though I grok Scrum it seems like this is the right thing...
28 people is a good size for a kanban team if you have a good distribution of skills. What are your workflow states i.e. what is the life of a typical work...
Dear All IMO, At the moment, one of the main problems with this group is that we do not have enough experienced Kanban practitioners to moderate the discussion...
I'm uncomfortable with a role as the bishop in this church. I don't want to appoint people or judge their knowledge or ability. I do like the idea of us...
(responding to Chris) ... Definitely. IMHO, the rest of it YAGNI. We just hit the "storming"; bit of the forming, storming, norming, performing pattern. It...
David It would only be for a very short period of time. In effect, in order to keep the quality of the discussion high, I suggest we control the flow based on...
I told you all at Agile 2007.... Agile is hugs and kiss-ees ;-) ( An intent to collaborate ) rather than handshakes ( which are a declaration not to attack ). ...
Chris, I'm also unsure there's a need to throttle this group's forward progress. However, I entirely LOVE the idea of building a more persistent body of ...
Paul I agree. The suggestion for the tag filters was really so that we did not need the moderators. Without people tagging their comments, the reader does not...
Aaron Love it! Where did you get the idea? It works fine at the Programme Management and Business Investment level. Your development team might like to...
I'm afraid that with a few folks we fell back to forming and lost them. This is a pity. I hope the rest of us can be patient and push through the storming...
Yes, that is a good breakdown for our purposes. What is the current iteration length? What is the historical average quantity of completed work items per...
Hi Corey, It took some time to go dig the answers out. Iteration is one week, start/end on Tuesdays. Average amount of WIP in an iteration is 6-8 features....

OK, assuming that you keep your Scrum iteration parameters more or less as-is, you might start with states and WIP limits like: Backlog (feeding buffer) 5 UED...
Backlog should be big enough that it never empties in a 5 business day period but not too big that items stay in it for more than 10 business days. 5 kanban...
If those numbers look reasonable, then you might also consider pooling the limits over some of the states and their buffers, so: Backlog (feeding buffer) 5 UED...
