@mhsutton Mike, maybe the transparency of Kanban is used to expose dysfunction so it can be acted on at a system level. in reply to mhsutton #
@ThirstyBear Kanban will expose a broken process – highlighting the problems – making it easier to address in the organization. in reply to thirstybear #
@rachelcdavies What part did Kanban play in exposing to the team and management the benefit of focusing on TDD and refactoring? in reply to rachelcdavies #
@rachelcdavies Because TDD and re-factoring are great practices – why were they being done before kanban? in reply to rachelcdavies #

@scrumnl Kanban supports realistic scheduling, flexibility in scope management, and focusing of learning opportunities. in reply to scrumnl #
@scrumnl #kanban #039;s WIP limits also create slack – its just not timeboxed. in reply to scrumnl #

From September of last year, http://bit.ly/cV8iC6 Methods, Practices, and Outcomes #kanban still topical. #
#kanban Important Question 1. In what situations does Kanban reduce transaction and coordination costs more than Scrum? #
#kanban Important question 2. In what situation does one method lead to better adoption over another? Why? #
#kanban important question 3. In a specific organization, what approach to empowered teams and building trust is most likely to succeed? #
#kanban Focus on outcomes that result in improvements – find the way that works in your organization to adopt and sustain them. #

@kschwaber I agree with the distinction until you say sophisticated waterfall. Kanban is incremental and iterative and evolutionary. in reply to kschwaber #

@dirkriehle Agile is incremental and iterative – timeboxes not required to be IID. in reply to dirkriehle #
@dirkriehle So a team that is doing sustaining engineering with continuous deployment can't be agile. in reply to dirkriehle #
@dirkriehl@dirkriehle Not a debate. If we can understand underlying benefit – we can deepen our understanding. #
@dirkriehle time-boxes serve a/serveral value purpose(s). Can be achieved in other fashion than time-boxes when time-boxes aren't optimal. in reply to dirkriehle #

@flowchainsensei Are #Lean and #Agile orthogonal or conflicting? in reply to flowchainsensei #
@flowchainsensei I agree. in reply to flowchainsensei #
@flowchainsensei <over-simplification>They operate along different axes – agile = team & learning, lean = work flow</over-simplification> in reply to flowchainsensei #
@flowchainsensei Maybe team & learning is most critical at the local level. in reply to flowchainsensei #
@flowchainsensei Lean is more valuable for org-wide learning than Agile. Teams discussion won't work in 140 characters. in reply to flowchainsensei #
@flowchainsensei Semantic overload in learning here I think. Lean is understanding the system – Agile is product specific knowledge. in reply to flowchainsensei #
@jason_a_reid For example – where are organization's observing Agile beyond teams? Its the Agile Manifesto for Sofware Development, right? in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid This is another overloaded word I guess. in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid An attempt to define Agile… in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid 1. Incremental and Iterative development in alignment with business value in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid 2. Facilitate change associated with feedback in reply to jason_a_reid #
@dennisstevens 3. Drive Transparency into the Project Status, Viability of the Product, and Delivery Capabilities to achieve Fit in reply to dennisstevens #
@jason_a_reid 3. Drive Transparency into the Project Status, Viability of the Product, and Delivery Capabilities to achieve Fit in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid 4. Compel Collaboration, Feedback and Learning about both the product and the delivery capabilities to improve quality in reply to jason_a_reid #
@jason_a_reid Many companies are benefiting from Agile development to be more responsive to the market. in reply to jason_a_reid #

@paul_boos Is your team doing the "After-Meeting"? in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos How are you handling the daily standup? 3 questions or walking the board? #
@paul_boos What conversations aren't taking place that you want to see? #
@paul_boos Okay. I like to use walk the board right to left. Help the team identify blocks, next steps, and oportunities for discussions. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos The team makes a list of conversations / meetings that need to take place. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos The team is responsible for having the conversation in the aftermeeting, putting the conversation on their calendar, or … in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos setting up time to have the conversation. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos I want to minimize time while optimizing communication flow. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos Check out http://bit.ly/esMp – Thinking has matured in the 4 years since but the presentation may give you some thoughts. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos Focus is on enabling just the conversations needed now to move the work forward. Everything else is not useful today. in reply to paul_boos #
@paul_boos Kanban helps identify the conversations we need to have now. in reply to paul_boos #

via @projectshrink: organizations are nothing more than an empty vehicle to facilitate the execution of a large set of temporary endeavors. #
@vincentbir I agree but don't see the conflict. The business sets the objectives – the projects are executed within the organization. #

@ryancrawcour Typically how much and when can only be answered within bounds. Agile doesn't change ability to estimate. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour Agile (IID + learning) will help you validate assumptions earlier, narrow bounds of uncertainty, and increase options. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour Identify all the work you understand you have to do. Estimate it. Add some contingency to each stream for uncertainty. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour Assume some amount of dark matter – adding some buffer to the project estimate. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour Identify your critically constrained resources and deliverable dependencies – I have had success using CCPM to determine when. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@dennisstevens Then plan the project to address risk early and deliver the highest value features first. in reply to dennisstevens #
@ryancrawcour No hype. Pragmatic planning that supports Agile delivery. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@TCagley We have all seen studies that over 70% of the cost of software is maintenance – right? So it isn't that there are no projects… in reply to TCagley #
@TCagley … it is that we treat maintenance work from a project paradigm – new releases = maintenance not new projects. in reply to TCagley #
@ryancrawcour We can analyze at a high level. We break the outcome down in a cascading story map then use t-shirt size / complexity matrix. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour I have rapidly estimated big projects with this model and been accurate within the bounds of understanding. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour This summer I will try to write up the entire Agile estimating process in a white paper and publish it on the website. in reply to ryancrawcour #
@ryancrawcour But you are correct – you have to do big block architecture and OOM estimating up front. in reply to ryancrawcour #
