Personal Kanban: Optimizing the Individual Coder
Track: Agile, thursday 13:10 - 14:00
There are myriad ways to optimize teams, but all too often we ignore the individual. When the individual is overlooked, the software production engine can be severely compromised. In this session, Jim Benson will discuss the application of Personal Kanban to optimize individual workflow, promote cross-team collaboration, and streamline small team interactions.
Personal Kanban promotes the individual effectiveness intrinsic to team success. Participants will explore how individuals as well as teams can use work-in-progress limits, value streams, backlogs, flow, and continuous improvement to build visual time management systems. Constraints, bottlenecks and collaborative opportunities then become clear. Individual understanding allows team members to make better decisions, effectively implement tasks, help other team members and have more successful releases.
Clarity Means Completion: The Psychology of Kanban
Track: Agile, wednesday 13:10 - 14:00
It’s just a white board! How can it possibly work? Kanban’s simplicity belies its power. In this session, Jim Benson will demonstrate how kanban’s visual and narrative structure:
* Creates an observable narrative of work;
* Enables clarity of purpose, action, intent, outcome, process, responsibility;
* Promotes shared understanding among people with different learning styles (visual, auditory), cognitive styles (ADHD / Asperger’s), cultural styles;
* Recognizes individual input;
* Depersonalizes work;
* Enhances tribal focus;
* Respects problem solving;
* Fosters the transition from market economy to a social economy, and
* Shifts the game of work from productivity to completion.
