13 Elements Of Kanban

In the Personal Kanban book, we say that the book is “not your mom.” The book is not telling you what to do - it is focusing more on why. Your Personal Kanban (or your team kanban) is also not your mom, but it is a lot of other things (not that your mom is a thing....).  The kanban tells you what, when, why, and even some how of your work.Over the next thirteen posts (which in China is a lucky number), we’ll cover how the board helps us define a narrative, understand status, see flow, measure progress, tell the truth, see potential, select better, thwart cognitive bias, be a learning aid, foster improvement, increase effectiveness, and illuminate hidden assumptions.Here is the Table of Contents for these posts (links will be made live as each one publishes):
