Agile Series: Kanban 101

Part 5 I think of the Agile Series. I've lost count.


This one covers the mighty Kanban - a method that goes way beyond just a board with some columns and cards. We cover visualisation, WIP limits, classes of service, prioritisation, continuous improvement and all that malarkey. I personally adore Kanban but there's a lot to cover to understand it even at a basic level. It's a long one as a result, so you might need a lot of coffee. Well worth it though - come flow with me.


Thanks if you have been following this far and bless you!
