Kanban

Each learning nugget is divided into a learning part and a reflecting part. Both parts can be done individually according to your own topic and wishes.

Learning Sources

The section "Learning Sources" will provide you with all the needed material to learn new topics with your individual pace.

Starting Point

When you choose to use Kanban as a method to drive change in your organization, you are subscribing to the view that it is better to optimize what already exists, because that is easier and faster and will meet with less resistance than running a managed, engineered, named-change initiative. Introducing a radical change is harder than incrementally improving an existing one.”
David J. Anderson, Kanban University

Our Session will focus on Kanban as a means to design, manage, and improve flow systems for knowledge work.

Watch and read the videos and texts referenced under "Learning Sources" and try to reflect on these statements and the resulting implications for your work. Some statements may surprise you at first. Do they contradict the way you work? Or does this kind of work make sense for you?

  • What do you understand? What are the essences of the learning units? What is still open and unclear to you?
  • Which aspects of the Learning Nugget are in line with what you already live today, which feel different, which would you like to try?
  • Is there anything that challenges you in particular? Where can it be helpful to apply what you've learned into your daily business, where could it be difficult?
  • How can you try out what you've learned? How exactly would your colleagues notice that you have applied your learnings?

Preparation

Doing

A learning session includes your personal reflection on the given learning nugget and optional a peer reflection with one or many colleagues in your team. 

Personal reflection

This part shall be done as your personal home work. Your learning session starts with a video that introduces you to the topic, complemented by reading material to deepen your understanding of the subject. Within each learning session questions that serve to reflect on and deepen the knowledge gained are provided.

(optional) Peer reflection

To deepen your knowledge and as a first reflection in a group, we recommend that you choose someone from your team and discuss the reflection questions together.
Of course, this only makes sense if this person has also worked on the same learning nugget.

Reflecting Questions

  1. Kanban employs six practices - Which one do you think is the most important four your team/department/organization?
  2. What are the advantages of visualizing the process with a Kanban Board?
  3. Why are work-im-progress limits so crucial for Kanban?
  4. Kanban emphasizes its evolutionary nature with its "start where you are"-principle. How would a Kanban-Board four your team/department/organization look like?
