10:00-11:00 GO FOR THE BRONZE! MANAGING WASTE IN KNOWLEDGE WORK
David J. Anderson: It's often said that Lean is all about waste elimination. There has been considerable effort taken to map the 7 wastes of Lean manufacturing to software development.

Benjamin Mitchell: This talk is an experience report on a web-based derivatives trading system which initially started using "Vanilla Scrum" which slowly evolved, through using a Kanban board and concepts from Lean Product Development into a more pragmatic delivery-focused system. The experience report covers the initial six months development of the system up to the Go Live, followed by the 18 months of continuing development of the system.

15:40-16:25 FIVE STEPS TO KANBAN
Karl Scotland: A Kanban System for Software Development provides an alternative means of creating an Agile Development process using Lean Thinking. Creating a Kanban System is not as simple as adopting a previously defined process as a starting point. Instead, a team needs to come up a model of its own process which will form the basis for further continuous improvement. This talk will introduce 5 steps that a team can use to create their own Agile process using a Kanban System for Software Development View the podcast here...
