Purpose & Priorities
Respect People
“Remove barriers
that rob people of
their right to pride
of workmanship.”
~ Deming
@dominicad	
  
Business value? Customer value? Employee value?
(These may not all be the same)
How is VALUE defined & communicated?
Is Purpose & Priority crystal
clear?
How do people know what to
work on to provide the most
value for the company? 	
  
@dominicad	
  
PULL VALUE
thru
the whole system
SMOOTHLY
FLOW

@dominicad
Some Visibility is a good start1
But…
work items not
broken down
small enough
can get stale
and prevent
Flow.
@dominicad
A Focus on individuals & siloed teams2
Individually named
swim lanes may make
it easier to see who is
working on what.
But… if the goal is to
see value flow thru the
whole system quickly,
consider how people
might not collaborate
when using this kind of
visual.
@dominicad
WIP Limits, if they exist, aren’t adhered to3
	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  
Visualizing
WIP limits is a
great start.
But… ignoring
them puts you
at a
disadvantage.
A true pull
system
increases
Flow & Value.
@dominicad
Not Much Continuous Improvement4
Fast
feedback
reduces
risk
Abandoned feedback
rarely converts to an
improvement
@dominicad	
  
If you find yourself in the Shallows,
don’t fret. Here’s what to do:
Ø  Think like a System
Ø  Focus on the Flow of Value
Ø  Kaizen to Continuously
Improve
	
  
ENTERING
THE DEEP
Tips for diving deeper
to discover hidden
business value
@dominicad
@dominicad
Ensure Metrics Foster the Right Stuff1Think like a system, not a siloed team
Value is delivered
after work flows
across the whole
system.
We need many hands
across many teams to
get the job done.
@everydaykanban
1 Build Relationships with Other Teams
@dominicad
Visualize Cross-Team Dependencies2
@everydaykanban
Respect people – Use Safe Metrics3
@everydaykanban
Focus on the Flow of Value
@everydaykanban
Visualize workflow, not busy people1
@everydaykanban
Use “Pull” to Manage Flow2
@dominicad
Limit WIP to Find Problems3
Remove barriers of
too much WIP,
so people can deliver
some value before
starting something
new.
	
  
Partially completed work
results in unmet value.
@dominicad
Check Amount of Unplanned work4
@dominicad
Kaizen to Continuously Improve
Constantly
assess and
improve
conditions to
enable better
Flow
	
  
@dominicad
Make Feedback a Habit with Lean Coffee1
To reduce J-curve resistance, the hearts and minds of
people must be open to change.
Casual, in-person conversations with people of opposing
viewpoints is one of the easiest paths to change.
Nothing accomplishes this better than a personal
relationship generated by frequent face-to-face
conversations in a safe, calm and respectful setting such
as Lean Coffee.

@dominicad
Remove Fear – Create a Safe Culture2
Like the captain of a
ship, leadership should
provide a safe
environment for the
crew.
Don’t let teams dive for
treasure without proper
support.
