S1E10_Understanding Upstream Kanban and Customer Lead Time
Teams and organizations often fall into the trap of committing to deliver customer requests immediately without conducting proper analysis. As a result, they face long lead times and spend more than anticipated. In our recent episode, Some and Orod had an enlightening conversation with Andre Suman Pereira about Upstream Kanban. We explored the concept and how it can address these issues effectively. Additionally, we delved into the importance of Customer Lead Time and learned how to calculate it. By implementing Upstream Kanban and understanding Customer Lead Time, teams can streamline their processes and deliver better results without...

S1E9_We are doing Scrumban
Many people have told Soma that they use Scrumban, which they believe is a framework that combines Scrum and Kanban practices. In this episode, Orod and Soma discuss Scrumban. They explore the origins of Scrumban, its name coined by Corey Ladas, and why it was initially called Scrumban. They highlight that Scrumban represents an evolutionary journey starting from the implementation of Scrum, and gradually transitioning into a complete Kanban system. The main lesson from this episode is that Scrumban is a continuous journey rather than a final destination.

S1E8_Kanban is just a board, and nothing else
A lot of people told Orod that Kanban is just a simple board and there's nothing more to it. But in this episode, Orod and Soma explain that the Kanban board is actually quite different. It's not just a regular board, but a big wall filled with cards. The purpose of the Kanban board is to let you know when you should start working on a task based on the availability of resources. The Kanban board is like a storyteller. It uses visualization, which is a powerful way to understand and process...

S1E7_We are self selecting, we are already having a pull system
Organisations often misunderstand the Pull System, mistakenly believing that it grants team members the freedom to choose any work they desire or feel most comfortable with. In this episode, Soma and Orod discuss the "Pull System" and designing a Kanban system for effective signalling. They emphasise the importance of "Managing the work, not workers," a key Kanban principle and clarify that empowering the team doesn't mean team members can self-select tasks arbitrarily, they should collaborate and pull the appropriate work based on its "Cost of Delay" to ensure timely delivery that aligns with business...

S1E6_We are already doing Kanban, are you?
It's quite common for teams to mistakenly assume that they are practising Kanban simply because they have a visual representation of their work on a big wall. In this episode, Soma and Orod delved into the true essence of Kanban. They revisited the definition and meaning of Kanban, which is derived from the Japanese word for "signal." Kanban serves as a signal that indicates the available capacity and signifies readiness to pull the next work item. Merely having a board without this signalling mechanism does not qualify as a Kanban board; it is merely...

S1E5_Scrum doesn't work for us, let's do Kanban
Soma expressed her recurring encounter with individuals stating that Scrum doesn't work and let's do Kanban. In this enlightening episode, we delved into the realm of Kanban's evolutionary change management and explored how its principles and practices can significantly enhance team and organisational workflow, regardless of their existing framework. Unlike prescriptive frameworks, Kanban empowers teams to improve their systems over time continually. We also highlighted the symbiotic relationship between Scrum and Kanban, with the Kanban board emerging as an indispensable tool for Scrum teams, or "make policies explicit" —a practice commonly embraced by numerous te...

S1E4_Kanban works best for Operations, not Projects
In this episode, Orod addresses a common misconception among his Kanban students who believe that Kanban is only suitable for operations and not for projects. We emphasise that Kanban is a versatile method that can effectively manage both knowledge work in operations and projects. By examining the origins of this misconception, We provide insights into its underlying causes. Additionally, Orod presents a compelling case study wherein he successfully introduced Kanban to a project team with no historical data, enabling them to deliver a new project within a tight deadline. Throughout the episode, we highlight...

S1E3_We hate meetings, let's do Kanban
During a recent conversation with a Delivery Manager, Soma heard that the delivery team is complaining about having too many meetings, and they want to move to Kanban because Kanban has no meetings. In this episode, we delved into one of the essential practices of Kanban, which is "implementing feedback loops". We explored how Kanban identifies feedback loop opportunities known as "Cadences" and how they are utilized to enhance the system's flow and predictability without adding any unnecessary overhead or distractions for the team. We also discussed two distinct types of Kanban cadences, namely...

S1E2_What is workflow? Can we standardise it?
While speaking with a product manager, Orod observed her desire to establish a standardized workflow throughout the entire organization. In this episode, we delved into the concept of workflow and how Kanban views work as a continuous flow, from the moment a customer demands something until that need is fulfilled. We also examined key considerations for designing an effective workflow and discussed whether standardizing workflows is a sound approach. Watch "Look at WORK through Kanban lens" by Andy Carmichael

S1E1_Kanban is not right for team with low maturity
During a recent conversation with an Agile coach, Soma heard that Kanban might not be the best approach for teams with low maturity because it's less structured. In this episode, we explored one of the key practices of Kanban, "Make Policies Explicit," and discussed how it could benefit teams and organisations depending on their level of maturity. We shared our own experiences and acknowledged that there may be challenges for teams when they attempt to collaboratively decide on how they want to work together.
