38 Kanban Rules v Visualize the workflow v Split the work into pieces, write each item on a card and put on the wall. v Use named columns to illustrate where each item is in the workflow. v Limit Work In Progress (WIP) – assign explicit limits to how many items may be in progress at each workflow state. v Measure the lead time (average time to complete one item, sometimes called “cycle time”), optimize the process to make lead time as small and predictable as possible.

LEAN techniques to understand the demand workflow. The demand flow is a simple process: demand meets capacity and, according to the capacity, demand can be treated more or less swiftly. Agile Demand Management
work: • those that produce value (fruits) • those used to produce value (roots) • and routine (transactional) aka « business-as- usual » Fruits are the expected outcome of planting: CA, benefits, etc ... "Robots" are the feed channels for the existence and growth of fruits. Anything that is neither "fruit" nor "roots" are called Business-as-usual (BAU). The BAU is time consuming and can not be totally eliminated. But it can be controlled by treatment. BUSINESS AS USUAL ROO TS FRUI TS
reducing the BAU, optimise the « roots » so that each harvest produce the same « fruits ». •Agile is more pragmatic. We consider that BAU cannot be eliminated but should be under control. •Scrum explain that you have to focus on business value i.e. increasing fruits harvesting. •Agile also explains that both development and production proceed in a sustainable pace. 47
« BAU »: • the process is defined until the end-of-times • each input produces almost the same output (defined process) Working hypothesis have never been validated nor experienced. They are mostly driven by annual budget Here the organisation is disconnected from reality and objective is to reinforce functional silos (keeping the organisation performance at the lowest level).

only start the work with clear purpose Autonomy = good results come from autonomous people Mastery = mastery through continuous improvement Result = it’s by combining purpose/autonomy/mastery that you can create a sustainable value delivering organisation SOURCE: DRI VE » D. PI NK
