Overview

In 2012, Author conducted a Boardwalk at a client in the United States. There were 15 individual teams, each of which had its own individually designed boards. Each board had a unique value stream, work item types, policies, and methods for judging completeness and quality. Both management and the teams were frustrated because they hadn’t yet found a board design that worked for the entire company. They were looking for standardization.

However, each of these boards were, in some way, optimized for each individual team. Each team had its own context and these boards related specifically to that context. Each team was also actively improving their boards on a regular basis – meaning that optimization was continuing. This white paper contrasts many of these boards, showing the differences in design of each board and the ramifications of those variations.

Overview:

This book is all about actual practice. How the Swedish police combined XP, Scrum, and Kanban in a 60-person project. From start to finish, Author explained how to deliver a successful product using Lean principles. Start with an organisation in desperate need of a new way of doing things and finish with a group of sixty, all working in sync to develop a scalable, complex system. Walk through the project step by step, from customer engagement, to the daily “cocktail party,” version control, bug tracking, and release. Use simple and powerful metrics to aid in planning and process improvement. Balance between low-level feature focus and high-level system focus. You’ll be ready to jump into the trenches and streamline your own development process.
