A healthy project requires clarity of project (what are we building), the customer (for whom are we building), the purpose (why are we building it), and of release schedules (when are we building it). But it doesn’t stop there, a healthy project requires a collaborative contract and structure, an understanding of what quality means, constant communication between the team and all other stakeholders, and an appreciation of the project’s trajectory.

This video discusses how Kanban and Lean methodologies were applied at RadicalFusion.

This video explains how to use predictability, measurement and change management with Kanban to balance the factors of observed capability, staffing, and delivery targets to achieve predictable outcomes.

In many companies using agile practices, project portfolio management are still plan-driven: the focus is on elaborating a plan and taking actions when deviations are reported. A better alternative is to bring the focus on value, flow and waste, instead. In this session we explore some of the lean product development techniques that have been introduced to manage a portfolio.

Why does Kanban work so well? Why do teams intuitively take to it? Why do people’s behaviors change around a visual control? Why does stress decrease? Why do people who currently could not work together suddenly collaborate? This presentation discusses the psychology behind visual controls.
