Hi Bruce ... Nice presentation - I always enjoy seeing how teams come up with different ways of solving their own problems. I like your "release" kanban, and...

Hi Samesh! ... Many of my clients have been experimenting with Kanban and Scrum and various combinations of the two. Some of this is documented in my newly...
Thank you Henrik for the link. From my view the preferred combinations are: 1)Product development Primary use Scrum while you can augment with Kanban to have...
From what I've seen so far I'm inclined to agree with you. But I haven't seen enough examples to be confident about it, still doing a lot of experimentation...
Sameh, although I wouldn't say it's too far from truth, I think it's an oversimplification. I agree, for instance, that Scrum is way less applicable to support...
Hi Aslak, First, thanks for the great post and spreadsheet. I've been looking for a tool to help illustrate our kanban and this one is just fantastic! I was...
Hi Pablo, Thank you for sharing your experience about what to use at various situations. A mature organization chooses a development life cycle based on...
... Sure. Lead time calculation is based on Little's Law. From Wikipedia: The long-term average number of customers in a stable system L is equal to the...
Hi Sameh, On a previous team, I've implemented kanban concepts in a context where the primary effort was continuing to develop an application (adding new...
Hi Frank, Your situation sounds very similar to our development team. I've been reading everything I can about Kanban the past few weeks and my team (the User...
Hi Frank, Make sense to me! You put the sw development activities (coding, testing, build, v&v....) in one flow segment that uses Scrum. Probably this segment...
The way we do it, Kanban and Scrum are quite complimentary - but Scrum needs to be relaxed a little. Kanban introduces the just-in-time, limited-work-in...
On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 10:53 AM, aslak hellesoy ... It's possible to provide a ballpark long term estimate, and in fact I rarely see a project where we aren't...
If you have used kanban before, you can use the lead time data from your past projects to make an estimate for your new project. However, the story sizes in...

Hi Eric Thanks for this email. Best wishes for the Denver chapter. Eric - If you can share your stories with us that would be great and helpful - how did you...
Hi Andrew, Sameh, and John: Andrew, I will follow-up w/you directly, and get a pic (as for additional description, see Sameh's and John's posts, if you...

... Thanks for the experience reports. These are very consistent with my experience. JIT feature development gets us that much closer to the Holy Grail of...
... I like the Mean/STD to project a feature, but I'm not sure how you use this to project confident delivery dates that are months out. I'd be interested to...
... Hi John, I hope I'm properly understanding your question. It sounds like you have a two-tiered approach, like a feature has one or more stories. If that's...
... typically "the date" and "the cost" are important in the sense that this is what the business needs to plan for. If "the date" extends, that typically ...
... Can't argue with that. Does your team plan to measure feature cycle times for future planning? Providing feature-level cycle time metrics has worked for me...
