Kanban is the result of practitioners applying lean principles to software engineering.
Kanban is influenced heavily by existing first-generation Agile methodologies.
Kanban is more like a tool than a methodology.

Kanban is translated as: “Visual Card” or “Signal Card”
For our purposes (software), we can think of it as a virtual signal.

Kanban for Software’s Lean Heritage: Don’t build features that nobody needs right now
Don’t write more specs than you can code
Don’t write more code than you can test
Don’t test more code than you can deploy

Pull value through the Value Stream. Limit work in progress. Make it visible!
![Page 12: Project Lead Consultant, AdventureTech Troy.Tuttle ... 11.15am Tuttle... · linkedin.com/in/troytuttle. ... generation Agile methodologies. ... Lead time Cumulative Flow](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022011800/5ab5b17e7f8b9a2f438cde39/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Value Stream12
Lean software engineering starts with mapping the value stream.
“Concept to Cash” “From the lips of the customer to a production
system”
![Page 13: Project Lead Consultant, AdventureTech Troy.Tuttle ... 11.15am Tuttle... · linkedin.com/in/troytuttle. ... generation Agile methodologies. ... Lead time Cumulative Flow](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022011800/5ab5b17e7f8b9a2f438cde39/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Value Stream13
Your value stream could be something like:

Phase-based development (waterfall) transfers the entire batch from state to state.
Existing Agile development transfers small batches from state to state (iterations).
Our goal with Kanban is to transfer one piece at a time (one piece flow), or at least work in that direction.
Consider watering your garden with a bucket versus a hose. [1]

Limiting Work In Progress

Performing tasks sequentially yields results sooner.
(Observe service organizations to see this principle in action.)

Limiting Work In Progress20
New work items can only be pulled into a state if there is capacity under the WIP limit.

Visualize!21
Put work items on a white board and make it visible!
Then have the conversation with the customer, “this is what we have in process now, to take on new work, what shall we back out of the system?”

“A minimal marketable feature is a chunk of functionality that delivers a subset of the customer’s requirements, and that is capable of returning value to the customer when released as an independent entity” -- M Denne & H Cleland-Huang, Software by Numbers

Example of MMF > User Story > Scenarios:The system should allow company users to
resolve duplicate customer records.So that we can eliminate duplicate processes, as a
data processor, I need to merge two or more duplicate records into one.Before merging records, confirm user has “merge” role
permissions in system.When merging customer records, verify at least one record
contains valid demographic information.After a successful merge, log merge relationship information
to merge log table.

The Estimation Game28
Kanban + cycle time metrics allow teams to stop playing the estimation game where value is placed on predicting when software will be completed.
Instead, teams can project software completion rates from actual data.
The effort that formerly went into improving prediction practices can now go to improving actual software delivery.

Additional Considerations32
Focus on system, not individual performance. Kanban as a change management tool – evolution
not revolution. Achieve predictability by not asking developers to
predict! Know your true WIP!

Personal Software Manifesto?33
metric-based planning
story elaboration just-in-time
value delivered via continuous flow
estimation-based planning
story elaboration through up front planning
value delivered in small batches
While there is value in the items on the right, I value the items on the left more.
