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...
Andrei, That's great. Just curious, but are you using Kanban because of the scalability across the enterprise, or other reasons? My talk will not be so much...
David, We are just starting to implement some limits in our Kanban process. Our situation might be different than yours, but our group supports multiple...
Hi David, 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...
No not really, we have struggled in games historically to come up good systems, on my last project here I used SCRUM to some success but again we have had...
Andrei, One question regarding your last point: "we define done as a Pre-Alpha state, at the last Milestone before Alpha, we will re-start the backlog and...
Indeed! :-) The numbers in the work columns like Dev, Test etc are based on the resource availability. We had a one item per person maximum to eliminate...
This might be a dumb question, but I'd like to know the 'usual' practice of processing "issues". I assumed that, when a Kanban card is "unblocked" (meaning...
Process quality can be tracked by keeping a record of issues and generating a cumulative flow diagram for them. Visual control is the purpose of the pink...
