So, I doubt more than a handful of people read this (I do this for my own cathartic purposes, really) and everyone that does knows that I've taken a new position starting in September. These same people also know I might be a bit of an Agile fanatic. Scrum (which, honestly, is still my fav methodology) has lost a bit of its well-earned sheen, Lean and, specifically, Kanban have become the new silver bullet.
So, being the sucker for shiny new toys, I need to try it out. So, I've decomposed all the items I need to transition into work items on a kanban board. While I won't have time here (I leave Sept. 4th) to see the fruits of it in a development sense, I do get a good sense of how to track work with it. I've been doing Scrum-ban for quite some time now so the pull concept of Kanban makes sense. There are so many interesting variations of how to limit work in progress and model workflow that I'm actually excited to try it.
More notes later...
