Thanks, This helps. I also watched the Yahoo video which helps a lot in understanding the slides. I'm introducing the board to the team tomorrow. My first...

1. Lead time is measured from entering the input queue. 2. Sure multi-assignment is happening but it is (generally) not ideal 2b. I would stick with two...

It's time for you to get your most scintillating Agile (Kanban?) theories together, write a kick-ass paper that could get published in the IEEE library and...
I recently started a Kanban pilot for an Infrastructure project. The team has some experience using Scrum and we thought Kanban SD offered some interesting...
I'm working with a team that is doing mixed-mode stuff where IT infrastructure work is processed through the same work flow as software development. I've also...

My company is just started learning about Kanban and we're taking the plunge. In one of David's power point slides I see "PDUs" mentioned with CR/Bugs. Also...
It's not really sanguine to the kanban story. PDU is a quirk of the Corbis processes. PDU = Production Data Update. It's anything that involves changes to the...
I have been gone from the company for a while so David or someone who is still there can probably respond in more detail, but here's what I recall. I'm not...
Hey folks, I'm giving a talk in June on using kanban with TFS in Indianapolis. I'm curious as to how many companies are using this method in their software...
Eric, We're using it within the Indianapolis division of Authorhouse to some extent. The details are emerging as the managers learn how to use the system most...
We're using a very rudimentary application (meaning far from perfect) of kanban concepts within our scrum management process in order to help control flow. ...
Thanks Eric, I wasn't sure who you worked for. I don't want to give off the idea that our group are complete gurus at this. We have a long way to go. But...
Rob, I'll try to post those slides somewhere. I'll let you know when they are available. Eric ________________________________ From: kanbandev@yahoogroups.com...
We are beginning to use it in game development here (Tantalus, Melbourne, Australia), just started and again, getting to grips with it, we are not using Team...
I'm curious to know how one determines kanban limits on the board. I see in David Anderson's slides that at the top of each column is a number that I presume...
You can pool a limit over multiple columns. Sounds like you have an implicit limit by making a multitasking rule. Separate limits are most necessary when...
I thought the kanban limits were representative of both the cycle time and the available resources, e.g., if testing takes 50% of the man-hours that dev takes,...
The number should reflect how many resources you need more than how many you have. If you start with 2 devs and it takes each 2 days to add their value to a...
