A Complimentary Cutter Consortium Webinar

Creating High-Performance Teams Through Kanban

Presenter: Masa K. Maeda, Senior Consultant, Agile Product & Project Management Practice

One of the top reasons for enterprises to adopt a new methodology is performance improvement. Yet there are three likely -- and not-so-wonderful -- outcomes for new adoption efforts: 1) only marginal improvements, 2) solely localized improvements, or 3) side effects that worsen other areas of the process or the enterprise. Consider, for example, a project where increasing code production results in increased technical debt. Or the implementation of an iterative discipline that results in slow handling of critical issues that impact production.

Kanban can help avoid these traps and help your new methodology adoption truly improve performance. Kanban is a mechanism that not only enables you to rapidly detect issues that may affect the continuous flow you need to effectively deliver projects to production, but also allows you to act upon those issues immediately. Balancing and limiting the amount of work in progress is a core part of Kanban, and makes it possible to handle risks and variability so you can avoid bottlenecks and impediments.

In this webinar, Cutter Senior Consultant Masa Maeda will give you the foundation to understand what Kanban is about and why it is such an amazing productivity booster. Masa will describe the what, why, and hows of Kanban, and then open the session up to your questions. Don't miss this opportunity to see if Kanban is a tool that will support your agile methodology adoption.
