Description:

I was intrigued by the ideas presented in Mary and Tom Poppendieck’s wonderful book, Lean Software Development, which was published nearly seven years ago, but it wasn’t until I came across the first articles describing kanban that I fully appreciated the practical implications of a lean approach to software development. In this presentation, I will share the lessons learned from my experience learning to work with kanban on three very different projects. I will talk about adoption strategies, growing pains, implementation tips, and my teams’ current thinking about future ideas to further refine our processes.
