Lean Kanban North America a.k.a Modern Management Methods conference for 2014 is coming up. This year it will take place in beautiful San Francisco.  I love San Francisco and the conference hotel is smack in the area I love most - the waterfront... But I'm not sure how much time I will have to wander outside... I'm expecting quite a busy week - As one of the two winners of last year's Brickell Key award I'm on the selection committee [...]

By |2013-09-22T20:00:25-04:00September 22, 2013|Change Management, Events|

This fall I'll be talking at DevOpsDaysTLV, LKUK13 (Lean Kanban UK) and LKCE13 (Lean Kanban Central Europe). If you're interested in my talk for DevOpsDaysTLV about Kanban - a SANE way towards DevOps, check out the prezi. My talk for LKUK13 is called Kanban - a SANE way towards enterprise agility. While it sounds very similar it is actually a 100% different talk... I finished a draft of the prezi and also wanted to share my somewhat "Pixar Pitch" which [...]

What does Kanban mean for the Project Manager?

By |2012-07-08T13:31:04-04:00July 8, 2012|Events, kanban|

This post is for you Project Managers / Program Managers / PMOs out there, or to be more generic people focused on orchestrating the successful on time delivery of commitments to customers. I will use "Project Manager" in this post just for the sake of simplicity. If you are a Project Manager, you might have a couple of questions about Kanban: How does Kanban and its Flow-based delivery model help me do my Job? Assuming someone is considering using Kanban [...]

Impressions from Lean Systems and Software Conference 2012 Boston

By |2012-05-17T16:42:21-04:00May 17, 2012|Blog, Events, kanban, Lean Startup|

The other was taking the ideas of fast cycles of [...]

Stranger in a strange land This week I attended and spoke at Scrum Gathering Atlanta It was a mixed experience for me. On the one hand it was interesting to see the focus of the Scrum crowd on the other hand it was a bit hard for me to find content to connect to and it was a bit of a stranger in a strange land, mainly because I'm all the way from Israel and the conference was a very [...]
