In The Brain of Kevin Ryan: Kanban for Lean IT Development
Kanban for Lean IT Development
Kevin Ryan takes a tour through some of his experiences in the application of Kanban in IT solution development. This session describes what Kanban is and how it has helped to support organisations achieve lean agile delivery.

Kevin explores explores how we use Kanban to manage the flow of work to release the capacity of IT development teams, and we also look out how visualisation and defined workflows support a positive and productive relationship between development teams, project management and programme management.

Finally we take a look at the ‘IT Kanban Toolkit’ and how we can use this to recognise and address common issues in IT development pipeline.

Kevin Ryan's Kanban Workshop

Kanban is an agile process methodology built upon the principles of lean thinking. As a project management discipline, it is intended to maximise value, eliminate waste and foster learning within the development organisation. This Kanban Workshop will introduce you to skills and practices that will enable risk management, information generation and technical delivery. We explore how to apply lean and Kanban to maximise value, reduce lead times and create a culture of continuous improvement. Find out more here.

Martine Devos' Agile Release Planning & Kanban

Is Agile capable of planning? Can we have fixed milestones? Can we make longer term plans? In this 3-day Agile Release Planning & Kanban course you will learn to facilitate agile Software Projects that adapt to change & discovery, improve collaboration, drive innovation and deliver business value. We will also learn how to report progress in a lean and agile way. That means without creating extra work/waste in lean terms), but using the information we gather and need to work as a self-organising, self directing and highly productive team. Find out more here.

Tom and Mary Poppendieck's Lean Software Development Leaders Workshop

As global competitiveness comes to the software development industry, the search is on for a better way to create first-class software rapidly, repeatedly, and reliably. Lean initiatives in manufacturing, logistics, and services have led to dramatic improvements in cost, quality and delivery time; can they do the same for software development? The short answer is “Absolutely!” This intensive two day workshop aimed at leaders will help you apply lean principles such as Rapid Response, Constant Learning, Built-in Quality, Local Responsibility and Global Optimization to software development.
