I've been thinking about how we achieve roadmap planning in a product development environment (as opposed to sustained engineering), were we need to give some...
Last quarter our teams started tracking fairly rigorously what projects are being worked on. there are workflow statuses of 'Unknown', 'In Discussion',...
Karl, Question 1. What do we commit to completing this week? Is pretty much the standard release cadence question asked at Corbis by the PM who coordinates the...
Aaron, Have you taken a close look at the two-tiered kanban board approach from the major projects we were running at Corbis. The kanban board was for the...
... Cool ... I hadn't thought about it that way, but yes. ... Agreed. ... We try to keep MMFs as "Minimal" as possible, but we have a wide variety of work,...
Right now we're using MMFs + Kanban on a brand-spank'n new product. Here's what I've noticed so far: We've estimated the project, but only to determine...
Joe, Was there an image attached to this post? [your post didn't make it clear whether we were using our imagination or referring to a photograph] If so the...

I wanted to bring this scientific paper that I co-authored to the attention of the group. I co-wrote this paper with Merwan Mehta who is a Lean manufacturing...
My apologies for my newbie questions: it looks like I fail to understand the pull system somewhere. I browsed through the messages but I couldn't find...
Hi Stephan Do not apologise. It is through questions of people new to the subject that we all learn. Corey, david or Karl will give a good answer. My short one...
... You could have a standard workflow, or any other workflow that makes sense for your project. ... If 'nothing to pull' happens rarely, then it could be a...
Yep, Chris is right on. Kanban is "the thing that makes Theory of Constraints and Real Options part of your everyday existence" :) ... subject that ... ...
... A small inventory buffer is the necessary price to pay for synchronizing variable-sized work items between workers. The trick is to keep the inter-process...
... In TPS, when no Kanban arrives, meaning your downstream is too busy or has no need to give them products, they don't create things. they clean their...
Kenji I agree with most except the refactor the code. This is a business decision as it has an impact on testing and risk even though the functionality may not...
Hi, I'm new in this forum and I just heard about Kanban, so excuse me if I miss some concepts or basic understandings... I envy those who got time to find out...
We have to be careful in IT. The courage to lose other people's money? Where is the courage in that. In my last role I used to crazy because the developers...
Yes, I agree with you Chris. This should be a prerequisite before refactoring. ... De : kanbandev@yahoogroups.com [mailto:kanbandev@yahoogroups.com] De la...
Hi Stephan - you've already had good answers. I'll see if I can add anything different. ... Congratulations - you've just found a bottleneck in the system ...
Sorry for the terse response earlier today. The curse of the blackberry I suppose. When I talk about the business and value, one of the most important aspects ...
I'm with Chris on this one Kenji, I don't agree with your translation to refactoring. I believe that slack resources should focus on process improvement ...
Thanks everybody for answering my questions. I have another, but I'll start a new thread for that one. Once again, many thanks, Stephan ... From: David J...
Hi again, What happens -- or how should I handle it -- if a single feature that was worked on by the technical analyst generates different jobs for different...
I disagree with your distinction between refactoring and some of the other activities. Refactoring proper should be a low risk occupation, small scale and...
Stephan David covers this nicely in his presentation which may be available somewhere. One of his teams created a two tier Kanban board. An outer kanban ...
Along with the two tiers is the swim lane concept that maintains a kanban limit on MMFs for each feature team working a set of tasks or features. The...
I'm totally on board with Steve's definition too. But it's interesting how the term 'refactoring' has grown to encompass more scenarios. A while ago I was...
