9 What Is A Kanban System?

10 Kanban Are Pull Systems Backlog Dev Ready 5 Pull K M F Done 5 I Now we have capacity to replenish our ready buffer Testing 3 UAT Release Ready B G N F Ongoing Test Ready Pull J O Development 3 F Pull D C * Pulling work from development will create capacity here too I the pull signals move upstream! There is capacity here This is only an example workflow!

11 For High Efficiency Kanban Systems Processes & Tools Resource Efficiency Principles & Mindsets Flow Efficiency Continuous Innovation Punctual improvements

12 Principles & Mindset 1. Start Where You Are 2. Create a Shared & Visual Understanding 3. Improve Evolutionary source:

14 Flow Efficiency: Theory of Constraints 1. Reduce intake 3. Increase intake 2. Fix bottleneck 4. Fix next

15 Flow over Batch Processing

16 Metrics: Lead Time Ideas Dev Ready 5 Development 3 Ongoing Pull FF F F F F F D G M Test Ready Done 5 Testing 3 UAT Release Ready The clock starts ticking when we accept the customers order, not when it is placed! E Until then customer orders are merely available options I Cycle Time Kanban system lead time ends when the item reaches the first queue

17 Histogram SLA expectation of 12 days with 70% on-time SLA expectation of 23 days with 95 % on-time SLA expectation of 16 days with 85% on-time

18 SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS Service B Service A More Frequency Frequency Lead Time (Days) Median ~9 days 98% 70+ days Mean 17 days Lead Time in Days Median ~9 days Mean 12 days 85% ~40 days 85% 15 days 98% 30 days

19 Project Managers Focus on Risks Ideas Dev Ready 5 Development 3 Ongoing Done Managers must develop a capability for issue management, P risk identification, root cause D L M F analysis, risk reduction & F G F mitigation Test Ready 5 Testing 3 E F UAT Defect Blocking Issue Release Ready

20 Risk Management & Lead Time Identify risks, their likelihood & impact (delay that extends lead time). Eliminating risks or reducing their impact trims the tail on the distribution. Trimming the tail moves the mean to the left, increasing delivery rate! Risks often cause long lead times 85th percentile mean

22 Monthly Risk Review Kata / Meeting Monthly Risk Review Kata Monthly Risk Review Kata Harvest blocker tickets over a 1 month period Cluster blockers based on the stories behind the delay Each cluster represents a risk Identify Likelihood & Impact Root Cause Analysis Reduction & Mitigation actions Harvest blocker tickets over a 1 month period Cluster blockers based on the stories behind the delay Each cluster represents a risk Identify Likelihood & Impact Root Cause Analysis Reduction & Mitigation actions

23 Improvements Think Do Done Think Do Check Continuous improvement

24 SCALING UP FOR LARGE PROJECTS

25 Example

26 Example Column WIP Limits Clinical Validation Testing, Deployment, P.O. Acceptance All are shared services across 3 dev teams

27 Forecasts & Planning Don t Answer: How Long Will It Take? Ask: When Do You Need It For? And: What is the cost of delay?

28 Forecasts Requirement # # of User Stories Use Statistical Methods & Probabilistic Forecasting mean 22 User stories / requirement

29 It gets more advanced Probabilistic forecasting Use Lead Time & Little s Law for portfolio planning

30 Examples of Forecasts
