Your team is stressed; priorities are unclear. You're not sure what your teammates are working on, and management isn't helping. If your team is struggling with any of these symptoms, these four case studies will guide you to project success. See how Kanban was used to significantly improve time to market and to create a shared focus across marketing, IT, and operations. Each case study comes with illustrations of the Kanban board and diagrams and graphs to help you see behind the scenes. Learn a Lean approach by seeing how Kanban made a difference in four real-world situations. You'll explore how four different teams used Kanban to make paradigm-changing improvements in software development. These teams were struggling with overwork, unclear priorities, and lack of direction. As you discover what worked for them, you'll understand how to make significant changes in real situations. The four case studies in this book explain how to: Improve the full value chain by using Enterprise Kanban Boost engagement, teamwork, and flow in change management and operations Save a derailing project with Kanban Help an office team outside IT keep up with growth using Kanban What seems easy in theory can become tangled in practice. Discover why "improving IT" can make you miss your biggest improvement opportunities, and why you should focus on fixing quality and front-end operations before IT. Discover how to keep long-term focus and improve across department borders while dealing with everyday challenges. Find out what happened when using Kanban to find better ways to do work in a well-established company, including running multi-team development without a project office. You'll inspire your team and engage management to make it easier to develop better products. What You Need: This is a case study book, so there are no software requirements. The book covers the relevant bits of theory before presenting the case studies.

This is a how-to book which details the step-by-step process to develop three key kanban systems, which are essential for a world-class factory. The book is written to factory personnel who have very little to extensive knowledge of Lean Manufacturing.Written by an expert in Lean Manufacturing with over 22 years of front line practice, including being training in Japan by Shingijutsu. Due to extensive knowledge, and real-world experiences through implementation of these kanban systems at not only The Boeing Company, General Dynamics, and Tesla; but also, at several start-up companies. You will find many illustrations, photographs, and diagrams, which enhance the explanation of these kanban systems: -Supplier Kanban-Material Delivery Kanban-Customer KanbanEffective Supplier Kanban systems manage the flow of the correct amount of parts from suppliers to the factory. A good kanban system nearly eliminates part shortages and overstock. There is detailed explanations on how to analyze shipping history and forecasted sales' projections which is necessary to define your kanban systems. This analysis establishes the average and erratic demands of customers' ordering patterns. Next, you will calculate the daily number of parts that will be consumed in order to meet the customers' demand. Daily consumption knowledge is key in building the Supplier Kanban system. The author step the reader through an activity to determine how many days' worth of parts are needed for each stage of the supply chain, i.e. transportation, receiving, and inspection. For example, all new parts received at factory ABC go through an inspection process. Their inspection team states there is an average ten-day backlog. With this news, you now know 10-days' worth of parts are needed in the pipeline. Each of these supply chain "stages" are investigated to determine the total days' worth needed in the total pipeline ensuring good, usable parts at the factory at the time needed. With this kanban system, a factory can use intuitive visual signals, which simplify communications while also assisting workers who may not be proficient in English.The second type of kanban system is called the Material Delivery system. This system ensures the correct amount of parts are always available to the assembly-line workers at the right time. When parts are readily available, production delays are prevented. Eliminating delays not only increases productivity, but also saves the company money by reducing the need for overtime and wasteful overstock. The third kanban system outlined is the Customer Kanban system. This system is set up between the factory and the customer. It greatly increases on-time delivery and customer satisfaction.Kanban systems significantly enhance factory production efficiency, which saves money, time and boost employee morale. The development of these systems also encourages management to reach-out to factory workers for their valuable input. In each of these stages, employee voices are essential to understand the demands and needs of the factory flow. In the end, the Kanban system methodology is a win-win system for everyone involved.

The Kanban board is constructed, the swim lanes are drawn and the blockade stickers are positioned. Now what? Kanban is not able to reach its full potential in many companies. Often, the meaning behind the individual practices, such as WIP limits, is not correctly understood. All hope is placed in a method instead of actions. Kanban helps uncover the weak points in a work system, and as a result, reveals how to better generate value for the customer. This book can help in tweaking an existing Kanban system, as well as expand your own repertoire of solutions. Klaus Leopold describes in detail the principles and functionality of Kanban, which are not always intuitive. He discusses typical problems that he has observed in his work with real-world Kanban systems. Klaus illustrates the possibilities that exist when the entire value creation chain of a company is taken into account and how tools such as Cost of Delay and forecasting can become strategic aids. Thus, it should become clear that Kanban is not a team method, but rather a method for improvement that considers the entire value creation chain of a company.

This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and contains everything a new project manager needs to know to get up to speed with agile practices quickly and sort out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author lays out the general guidelines for running an agile project with the assumption that the project team may be working in a traditional environment (using the waterfall model, or something similar). Agile Development in the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences: For new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive approach that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing the decision points and perspectives as the agile project moves forward from one step to the next. This allows new agile project managers or agile coaches to choose between the benefits of agile and the benefits of other methods. For the agile technical team member, this book contains templates and sample project artifacts to assist in learning agile techniques and to be used as exemplars for the new practitioner’s own project. For the Project Management Office (PMO), the first three chapters focus on portfolio management. They explain, for the agilists’ benefit, how projects are selected and approved, and why projects have an inherent "shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines that may seem arbitrary to traditional technical teams. What You Will Learn: How and why the evolution of project management, from PM-1 (prescriptive) to PM-2 (adaptive) affects modern 21st century project management. How sociology (stakeholder management), psychology (team dynamics), and anthropology (organizational culture) affect the way software is developed today, and why it is far more effective A clear delineation of what must to be accomplished by all the roles (PM, BA, APM, Developer, and Tester), why those roles are needed, and what they must do Step-by-step guide for a successful project based on studies and the author’s own experiences. Specific techniques for each role on the development team, both in the pre-iteration and iteration cycles, of product development. The appendices contain templates that the team could use or modify to tailor their own agile processes specific to the team, project, and organization.
