This video will provide a comprehensive introduction to Kanban for software development. This course assumes a basic understanding of Agile. This course will cover these topics:
Origins of Kanban. Explore the roots of Kanban in the manufacturing industry, popularized by Toyota. An understanding of its origination allows us to better visualize how it is then applied to software project management.
Core Principles of Kanban. Learn Kanban’s distinct characteristics which make it very effective with an Agile methodology. Principles such as flexibility in planning, pull approach, and continuous delivery will be discussed.
How Kanban helps in Project Management. Appreciate Kanban’s continuous quest to eliminate waste. Here we will discuss the concept of Value Stream Mapping and how software development projects can use this to eliminate wastage throughout the process of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Kanban and Agile. Contrast Kanban with Agile. Here we discuss how Kanban’s value- centric approach aligns closely with Agile. Agile’s iterative and incremental approach coupled with Kanban’s value-focused methods is a perfect recipe for project management success.
Kanban and Scrum. Contrast Kanban with Scrum. We will also explore how teams can use Scrum and Kanban for their projects (ScrumBan).
Kanban Tools. Apply some popular and effective tools you can use for your Kanban adoption. I personally still recommend going traditional (pen, paper, board) in terms of tools, but it’s also efficient to make use of online apps for ease of communication, tracking, and analytics to name a few. We will explore how a mix of physical and online tools can aid Kanban teams.
We at Technics Publications like to think of ourselves as the “Tesla of Publishing”. Just like the Tesla car, we are original, agile, and environment-friendly. Our originality takes the form of filling in niches within the data and leadership book space, such as data modeling and data strategy. We have also published some of the most creative works in the field, such as The Hidden Corporation, a data management security novel, and the fruITion trilogy, novels on the fragile business/IT relationship. Our agility means as a small publisher, we can go from concept to bookshelf at warp speed. Bill Inmon’s Data Lake Architecture for example, went from unedited manuscript to bookshelf in under eight weeks! We are also environment-friendly, with close to 60% of our sales in electronic books.
