What are the Kanban Cadences?


"How does it happen that all living beings, from a single cell organism to a human body, know how to grow, adapt to an environment, simply keep living? Even if each cell is a complex and relatively independent piece of machinery, a synchronization at a higher level (tissues, organs) is achieved by receiving and processing external signals with senses and using internal biochemical feedback loops to assure alignment."

How a Flow Manager Helps Teams Deliver, Fast and Smoothly?

With talented developers, quality advocates and user-experience designers, our teams know how to deliver valuable software. But as we improve service delivery using kanban, who manages flow?There is the need for someone from within the team to take charge for the implementation to stick.

Why Kanban and DevOps are such a good fit?

The Kanban software development methodology is getting a lot of attention as of late, particularly for its ability to enable DevOps. This Kanban board concept is not just for the engineers, it is for everyone to see where work is performed and its status. It holds a powerful ability to analyze processes, find waste and make small enhancements to eliminate or reduce that waste. By slowly and gradually ameliorating elements of the process we are able to achieve significant improvements in the quality, costs and timing of our work.

Why limit wip - Working better within constraints

“One of Kanban's main principles is to limit the work in progress. A WIP limit is a strategy for preventing bottlenecks  Limiting WIP leads to a virtuous cycle of improvement-  Multi tasking goes down, feedback goes up, errors are easier to catch, work becomes easier to break up into smaller prices, which makes it easier to limit WIP, which mean multi tasking goes down, etc, etc,etc “

How does agile development deals with variability? Agile software developers already grasp the importance of responding to change….. But, what does this mean? Is there more to it than just saying, “I will respond to change.” Indeed, there is." Don Reinertsen

Evolving to Multiban - Visualize all levels of work

With Kanban, a board is just one board to which the cards are pinned. With Multiban, a board is a slate of switchable data axes (or lanes), with custom intersections. Multiban, as the visual process management system, is presented by a set of views, reports, controls and boards that comply with any diversity, and any complexity of workflow, or organizational structure. It a visualization evolution.  Here it is:
