The Whats, Whys and Hows of Kanban

Lean software development practices are gaining momentum-with good reason-and many software teams are learning to use Kanban to help manage development and reduce waste. Sharing his experiences-both good and bad-implementing Kanban at Pillar Technology, Tim Wingfield explains how this practice can help you rapidly refine and improve your development and delivery processes. According to Tim, Kanban, which embodies the seven principles of lean software development, can help you identify practices-context switching, thrashing, and bottlenecks-that may be slowing down your team. Join with Tim to explore the concepts of Kanban, including queue limits, trigger points, and value stream maps. Based on the experiences Tim and his organization faced and overcame to implement Kanban technques, you'll take back a practical grounding in Kanban and a realistic view of how to implement it in your organization.
