Kanban at Xclaim

Overnight, Dave Laribee drove a lot of new traffic to the Kanbandev Yahoo! group with this post about his kanban implementation at Xclaim. Seems Dave has been carefully reading Corey‘s posts on implementing kanban. Dave’s implementation looks quite sophisticated.

Eric Landes on Kanban at the TFS SIG

Eric Landes is presenting his experiences of developing a kanban system for software engineering at Robert Bosch, at the Indianapolis TFS Special Interest Group on June 12th. If you live in the area of happen to be passing through Indianapolis in mid-June go check it out. Eric was one of the early adopters of kanban and has been a solid contributor to the community.

Kanban on TFS

Eric Landes at Robert Bosch has created a kanban process template for Team Foundation Server. So all you Microsoft .Net developers can feel the joy of kanban in the safety and comfort of your own office. Thanks Eric, for a nice community contribution. I’ll certainly be recommending this to Modus Cooperandi clients who develop in .Net.

I wanted to let folks know that I’ve posted a Kanban Process Template for Team Foundation Server on codeplex at (http://www.codeplex.com/KanbanTFS).  This is at an alpha release stage.  I’d appreciate any feedback so anyone using TFS, feel free to give it a test drive.  Soon there should be more reports and process guidance.  I’m hoping this can be used in conjunction with the TFS Sticky Buddy project.

Help Fill Up the Room on Monday in San Fran

Well it looks like TriFork and Accelinnova have struggled to fill the room in San Francisco for Monday’s Leadership Summit event.

If you’d like to meet me in person and ask me anything about Agile Management, Kanban, MSF CMMI, FDD, or what we’re doing with Modus Co-operandi, then come listen to me present on Kanban at the JW Marriott in downtown San Fran on Monday.

Agile Leadership Summit - San Francisco May 5th

Register now, using code ‘d400’, to see me present kanban in San Francisco May 5th 2008 before March 19th and get a $400 discount.

I’ve never spoken about Agile Management in the San Francisco Bay Area with the exception of my visit to Yahoo! to talk about kanban last year. So, I’m really excited to have the chance to do so in San Francisco this year. It’s been so long since I’ve spent any time in city of San Francisco - one of my top 5 favorite places in North America. I believe it was 5 years ago that I last attended JavaOne as a Motorola employee.

If you live in the Bay Area and would like to learn more about kanban and have a chance to meet me and talk directly about agile and lean ideas for managing software engineering teams, then come along to the JAOO event on May 5th. Accelinnova and TriFork are jointly presenting an Agile Leadership Summit. The line-up is basically the same folks who turned out for the APLN Leadership Summit in Dallas. However, the San Francisco event is commercial and does not benefit the APLN. Technorati Tags: Kanban, Lean, David+Anderson, Agile, Software+Engineering, Management+Science
