From Devops to conferences to new kanban books, this issue includes a little something for everyone.
We search for new content every week. If you read or write something you consider useful for the kanban community, please drop us a line and we’ll include it.
David Anderson’s next book is in pre-production, but it’s not the advanced kanban book we’ve been waiting for. Rumor has it, we may see it at lssc12 in Boston (see below for details).
Apologies for the delay over the last two weeks! I have been traveling between east coast and west coast teaching classes and speaking at conferences. Hopefully, this issue will make up for the gap with info on tool updates and articles.
@marcusoft’s blogpost titled “Common Kanban Mistakes – not limiting your WIP”, argues against making work visible without limiting WIP. He jokingly suggests, “Kanban is so small it cannot even become Kanbut. It will be just be but.” http://www.marcusoft.net/2012/03/common-kanban-mistakes-not-limiting-wip.html
Kanban Tool has been making some nice improvements recently. New functionality supports using tags in the email subject line to set properties and add comments. CFD data can now be exported. Performance is faster and more color options are available. http://kanbantool.com/blog

A copy of the book will be supplied upon registration. Attendees will maximize the value if they are already familiar with the material.
The intent is to have an interactive collaborative session designed to facilitate knowledge sharing and learning. Attendees should come prepared to discuss their own experiences with Kanban and challenging situations they’ve faced with change initiatives at clients or employers
The workshop will open with a round table of introductions and shared Kanban experience. Each participant will be asked for a list of questions they’d like answered over the 3 day session and from this a topic backlog will be built. David will augment this backlog with essential topics and foundational material. The agenda for the remaining time will then be set to insure the fullest of coverage and the maximum value for all participants. The focus will be on shared experience and discussion of the hard questions that clients and team members ask coaches during the introduction of Lean ideas through the use of a kanban pull system. The workshop will include the use of the GetKanban game simulation and discussion of its value as a teaching aid.
The goal is to enable participants to go back into the field and successfully coach Agile/Lean transitions using the Kanban approach. Every workshop is different because of the unique experiences of each participant and their specific focus and desired outcomes. Each participant will received a personal recommendation from David J. Anderson as a result of participating in the class.
Kanban offers agile and project management coaches another tool in their transformation and coaching toolbox. Kanban is proving to be a facilitator of evolutionary change with low resistance and an enabler of accelerated high levels of organizational maturity.
