... Agreed. Breakdown should occur from a logical, functional aspect. On occasion, it might make sense to tease out non-functional aspects of cards into their...
I'm constantly being asked what are the roles/responsibilities on a kanban team. Since I work primarily with Scrum teams, or teams that at least understand the...
We also ask people if there are any blocking issues not on the board? and we iterate through the issues on the board to get status on them. We have either a...
If you apply kanban limits to a Scrum-like feature team, the big new responsibility will be flow management. Somebody has to understand pull and flow well...
I agree with David that the breakdown should be functional. I would further add that it should be an MMF ( Minimum set of marketable features that generate...
David, Corey I know my stuff is not pure Kanban but it sits so neatly in your framework that I would like to explain my role. It is in addition to your roles...
Hello David, Do you have a Kanban group on Facebook. I think Facebook would be a good medium to start convos about Kanban, and ppl will be able to find this...
... To be clear, you are talking about the outermost, "development ready" queue. Interior workflow queues (if you have them) would be operated by the team. ...
Why not start one and invite me to join? You'll find me on Facebook as "David John Anderson" ... Facebook would be a good medium to start convos about Kanban,...
Chris, It is so true that folks in our industry are not attuned to thinking about transaction costs and coordination costs and the opportunity cost of...
Chris, The qualification for being "pure kanban" is pretty simple, and I'm sure that you rate :) If you have any state in your workflow that has a limit on...
Hello, A new Facebook group "Kanban -" is now active.. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6210597775&ref=mf Please join, and invite others. It is an open...
Will this be a general discussion about all applications of kanban? Or will it be limited to software development? You might want to name it according to...
Well i can't rename the group, but in the description of the group i mentioned "This group is open for anyone interested in lean software development." ...
After a few members mentioned that renaming the group would be better to reflect the nature of the discussions we will have, I created a new group "Kanban -...
Hi Dave, I've walked through your Kanban articles and presentations and somehow I missed what the meaning of the Orange post-it labeled "Extra- Bug". What do...
Hi Bill, Extra Bugs are bugs that the dev team take on with a special set of rules that allow the devs to do the analysis work and the testing on their own...
Hi there, How are processes mapped where you are? If you have examples of the board you use you'd like to share, maybe you could upload them to the ...
Aaron, There's a japanese PM tool called Trichord ( http://trichord.change-vision.com/en/index.html), which provides an e-kanban board. In fact, it borrows the...
I normally avoid posting to informative mailing lists about products but David suggested I do so (see the email below). We are making a tool on top of JIRA...
Chris, Just a quick note here on your comment "The only people who should put anything into a Kanban slot are the business product owners." Here we are...
I think this "fair" FIFO approach will work well so long as your capacity exceeds demand so that everything gets done. Silver bullets may become an issue if...
Eric I am always a little uncomfortable when a process (FIFO) or IT are specifying the order. That said, it will be interesting to see the results of your...
I agree with Chris, especially with the voting scenario. Our team tried voting ; Each member had 5 votes in order to prioritize 3 items, and it worked much...
That's going to be the interesting part of this. Right now until Christmas we will have a lot of capacity, (we don't have a lot of projects) and hopefully not...
Chris, I agree with you on being uncomfortable with IT or FIFO specifying prioritization. This is an experiment. But in my environment ( ( 1. my upper...
I agree with Eric's approach. Politics always trumps everything. Grow slowly. Change incrementally. Get some wins. If using FIFO and focusing on reporting...
Exactly. If you do not have the short cycle times in place, then the prioritisation process can delay everything. Fix the short cycle times before the...
Thanks for the feedback David and Chris. One other issue I am tossed up about is whether to score our changes. It seems like we should do planning poker with...
