PRACTICES OF LEAN-KANBAN

Alan Shalloway, Net Objectives

Kanban's visibility changes the relationship between management and their teams. It also allows managers to provide coaching and leadership to the team when necessary. Management respects that the team is doing their best but understands that sometimes teams don't see all the things they need to do.

When you are ready to roll up your sleeves and "go Lean", you will turn to practices. Kanban principles are embodied in practices such as visualization and limits. Developing these core practices plus recommended technical practices will drive your Kanban initiative on to continual improvement.
