Why arriving early to LSSC and similar lean/Kanban conferences pays dividends — conversations in the hallway before sessions start are where the real learning happens.
Session 4 from the LSSC 2011 pre-conference webinar series: an introduction to Lean Product Development Flow and Reinertsen principles for Kanban practitioners.
An early interview on Agile and Kanban: how Kanban complements rather than competes with Scrum, and why flow-based thinking is the missing piece in most agile implementations.
Why Kanban surfaces the bottleneck constraint instead of hiding it — and why this is actually a feature, not a bug. How to use the weakest link as a forcing function for systemic improvement.
How to add iteration/sprint mechanics to the getKanban board game — making it a useful simulation for comparing time-boxed and flow-based approaches side by side.
Kanban classes of service solve the coordination problem between generalist and specialist roles. How to use them to manage shared dependencies without creating bottlenecks.
