Kanban for Software and Systems Development.
Abstract:
Kanban for Software Development is the latest hot topic in the Lean/Agile Software Development community. Like any new approach to software development, the typical questions arise: What is it? What makes it different than existing approaches? Is it just the latest buzzword or is there something more to it? How can I migrate my current software development process to Kanban? How does limiting work in progress with Kanban affect software architectures?
During this presentation, John Goodsen will present an introduction to the principles behind limiting work in process and show how these principles can be re-inforced with Kanban principles on software and systems development projects. The presentation is fun and incorporates some group exercises to help reinforce the non-intuitive concepts of Lean software development through example.
