2009/11/30 Karl Scotland <kjscotland@...> ... I'd definitely agree here. ... best chance of succeeding and improving? Your best chance of succeeding...
Paul, Work gets delayed. People have slack. Flow is not the same as utilization. Regarding the work: as long as the work is flowing things are good. Regarding...
1. Software is unpredictable - so you need near real time feedback to respond appropriately to changes in demand. That is precisely what the Kanban board gives...
Hi Steven, I agree with this too. In practice however it comes down to a succession of judgements and ad-hoc decisions, by people who can "see" and exploit...
Paul: There are two parts to flow. First - an indicator of if you're heading in the right direction. Second, what to do about it. The first _is_ simple....
I think you confuse predictability with control through feedback. Kanban enables us to control our process by having set wip limits that we can use to see how...
... yes, this discussion often makes me think (if i understand your point correctly) similar things. it seems to me that there are 2 gross levels: the...
Hi Steven, Well stated. I agree with everything you say here. How many people can "see" the differences you describe? Is it not possible that "increasing flow"...
First post from a lurker here... I'm currently implementing a kanban type system for my software development group, and we are having to deal with daily fires...
Hi Paul, The mantra "Value trumps Flow, trumps Eliminating Waste" surely gives the right steer and the emphasis of Lean and Kanban on the "whole value stream" ...
Yes, Tim. Thanks. This is also my understanding of CMMI. What you describe would be a typical model level 3 behavior where there is a defined process to deal...
There is no way, CMMI ML1 represents a typical agile process. For example, ML2 includes configuration management. No self-respecting agile team is without the...
Did anyone have experience using Production Kanban for Billing various insurance carriers with different timely in Billing..I am taking in Health Care billling...
I know one of our enterprise engagement managers, Guy Beaver - in Charlotte, implemented kanban at a health care company. I don't think he's on this list. Is...
I spent the first half of my career in health care billing systems and operations. This was before I was kanbanning, so I'm not sure what I can add, but I'm...
He's seems to have completely dropped off the grid. His posts were nearly always thought-provoking. I obviously want to respect his privacy, but I'd like to...
Tim Welcome to the noisy side of the group. Nice first post. Look forward to Reading more in the weeks to come. Regards Chris (Sent from my iphone.)...
Hello, With scrum this is more or less clearer. Plan, estimate and divide the work at hand by the velocity of the team. Including cadence in kanban is free,...
... ja wohl, i find that question key for many reasons. some thoughts: 1) how would anybody do it under another model such as waterfall or agile? my personal...
Hi David, Thanks for responding to the meat of the matter and allowing useful debate. I totally agree that you can't readily fit an Agile world view into the...
One example: 10 days after we have the capacity freed and you select this feature as the one we will do. "10" being the cycle time upon which we have a SLA for...
hi Paul, ... it seems to me that what you say about Agility is maybe really mainly for the requirements. and the CMM stuff could be more about the engineering...
Hello Yann, ... So, how can you know the class of the service? How do you classify? I assume you mean that there are cycle times for the service types. We put...
Hello Raoul, ... In my experience, intuitively guessing by experienced and trusted members. ... Yes, we can convince. But, then how do they plan their other...
Hi Raoul, No I really mean that we adapt our development process on the fly each and every day! We need to distinguish between a "toolbox" full of tools and a...
hi Paul, ... thanks, that does make me ponder more. still (to play a bit of the stick in the mud) i think some people (like me, probably) think that if we were...
Paul, I have to wonder how agile a good, informed level 5 team would feel if they're naturally and continually (daily) using the metrics they collect to ...
