S1E6_We are already doing Kanban, are you?

It's quite common for teams to mistakenly assume that they are practising Kanban simply because they have a visual representation of their work on a big wall. In this episode, Soma and Orod delved into the true essence of Kanban. They revisited the definition and meaning of Kanban, which is derived from the Japanese word for "signal." Kanban serves as a signal that indicates the available capacity and signifies readiness to pull the next work item. Merely having a board without this signalling mechanism does not qualify as a Kanban board; it is merely a wall with numerous cards. During the discussion, we explored the significance of two key Kanban practices: limiting work in progress and visualizing the workflow. By implementing these practices effectively, teams can create the necessary signals that indicate capacity and readiness for new work. As a coach, you play a crucial role in supporting teams as they gradually evolve and transform into true practitioners of Kanban.
