Hi all - I'm putting a Kanban system in place for a smaller XP team that's going into a sustained engineering mode. I've structure the WIP to follow through ...
David, In the last few environments I've set up for Kanban I've found that it's usually an "all or nothing" solution. If the interactions are significant ...
... We're used to working off the trunk/mainline <<< I like to keep the trunk golden, merging into the trunk only after release. Drop release tags. That way...
Hi David! As the Version-control/Branching expert, my advice is don't avoid branching for the sake of avoiding branching. That's just about as branching for...
Thanks, all. Some really great tips here. I'm not sure we _need_ to branch per WIP item, at least we're going to go that route. I'll try to loop back with my...
So we try to do retros every 2 weeks. As much as we have regular Kanban queues, we still track on a 2w basis. If we miss 1, well then it's once a month. But...
For us, that's the state it's in to get out of the queues. "Done" for a developer is still rarely really done. "Done-Done" is thru all checks, validation,...
Interesting re: the buffers. I've found that, in my current team, we tend to get most of the value you'd expect to get from a retrospective by just saying "hey...
Yes, I think the "just in time" retrospectives you're talking about work best. But for us, I'd like to disseminate that information across the entire team....
The best agile conference deal on the planet is ending very soon! For only $150 you get 2 full days of open-space sessions on all aspects of agile software...
Modus Cooperandi has finally launched our public training offering on kanban systems for software development! This one-day course will teach aspects of lean...
I know the focus of this group is around software development, but I had a question around Kanban systems themselves. My background is in configuration...
Hello Jay, I think that we are interested in information workflows in general, so your question is welcome! One interesting suggestion that I heard a couple of...
Jay, Corey's thinking the same way I am. My wife handles instructional design and contracting of SME's as part of building an online curriculum. She has a very...
Eric, One of the issues I see is having the information on a site not within the company network is probably going to be an issue. I want it completely open...
Hi all - Mainly just an introduction here... I've introduced Kanban at my company, Xclaim Software. We're a medium-sized team (one team) and we've been doing...
Dave, It's good to see your blogs on this. I look forward to your posts on the rework and zero defects. It seems Corey led a spirited discussion on this a...
Dave I am really looking forward to your post as I have some post around the same realms so it will be really nice to compare and learn from what you are ...
Hi David, I like your board design. We can never get enough of those photos around here (ahem)! It looks like you've put a lot of thought into it. I really...
Following Dave's post on his kanban implementation and the comments on the page, I've blogged my thoughts on why I don't feel a big need for retrospectives...
... Both would be good. The blog audience is wider and perhaps less focused than the folks in this group. I'd expect a deeper discussion on this list. Hence,...
(cross posted to your blog) Hi David- I talked about release level retrospectives at Agile 2008 ( http://submissions.agile2008.org/node/1464). The goals...
I agree with the general concepts of risk management and issue mitigation from both internal and external influences. But that is only one aspect of a...
