Kanban Slides Available from 10/28/2009 AgileKC Meeting

My Kanban presentation slide deck is available for download.  Thank you to all who attended.  Great questions and discussion afterward.

My slides contain a references page with links to pertinent materials.  Here are a few resources we discussed:

• Scrum-ban – Corey Ladas explains how to implement some Lean and Kanban principles on your Scrum team.
• Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash  - Poppendieck (published before Kanban for Software was coined, but very good resource for Lean organizations)
• Limited WIP Society – the best Kanban resource available on the web (resources page)

What Others Are Saying About Software - 10/26/2009

Self-Organization vs. Evolution
Another take on complex systems and team software from Jurgen: "These teams are non-deterministic and therefore able to heal themselves, while an automated or controlled system is deterministic, and therefore not self-healing."

Kanban Results
A Kanban report card from David Joyce at BBC in London.  Inspirational!
