Agile Development Blog / SCRUM, Extreme Programming, Tools, Tips: Kanban in Software Development

Lean software development is becoming a new buzzword. More and more articles, books and discussions around lean and software development popped up last year. People are using new terms like Kaizen, Kanban, Muda, Pull System, etc. Well, this is great. New thinking about software development stimulates new ideas and new solutions to old problems.

Agile Development Blog / SCRUM, Extreme Programming, Tools, Tips: Reveal Agile Development Process Problems with Kanban Board

In previous post I described Kanban and its application in agile software development. Kanban board is not just a way to communicate story state, it is a tool that can reveal some problems in the development process.

There are some simple patterns that are very intuitive and can be applied to any development process. You should look for gaps on the kanban board. If you have many stories in a column before the gap, you definitely have a problem in development process.

Scrum Log Jeff Sutherland: The First Scrum: Was it Scrum or Lean?

After thinking about the early days of Scrum I think the root of both Scrum and Lean is complex adaptive systems theory. When we created Scrum we did not talk about Lean, we talked about complex adaptive systems. I think Scrum and Lean are complementary implementations of ways to deal with physical reality where things are often not linear, not simple, and not predictable.

IBM developerWorks : Blogs : Agility@Scale: Strategies for Scaling Agile Software Development

During 2007 Per Kroll and myself invested a significant amount of time development a framework for lean development governance. This effort resulted in a series of three articles that were published in Rational Edge and a recently published white paper. The articles go into the various practices in detail whereas the paper provides an overview aimed at executives. I also recently did a webcast which is now available online. The URLs are at the bottom of this blog posting.

Here's an introduction to Lean Thinking and how it applies to software development, from the Agile Editor of InfoQ China, Jacky Li.

Scrum The Mythical Product Owner role | Xebia Blog

The Product Owner role in Scrum

In the Lean Software Development method Scrum there are three roles: the Team, the Scrum Master and the Product Owner. In my experience the Product Owner role is by far the most confusing and hardest role to ‘get right’ and provokes the most discussion. Even the mere definition of what this person should do is under debate amongst most Scrum practitioners I’ve talked to. I want to discuss the origins of the Product Owner role and my experience in how (not) to fill this role, especially in companies that don’t do product development.

InfoQ: Visualizing Agile Projects using Kanban Boards

I explore visualization methods of agile projects, and then propose using Kanban Boards to organize 3 viewpoints (Time, Task, and Team) so that the whole team understands the current status of the project and can work in an agile manner.

InfoQ: A Leaner Start: Reducing Team Setup Times

Since agile practices don't directly address the learning needs of new team members, I suggest the use of other practices that specifically reduce the "setup time" for new team members.
