Allocating WIP Limits for a Kanban System

I have seen people focus a lot on what the WIP limit should be for a Value Stream stage of a Kanban system. However, once the WIP limit is known, I haven’t seen much thought going into where to put those WIP limits. Hence, this blog!

How Cognitive Overload Impacts Productivity?

Fast forward twenty years and we are sitting in a digital marketing review meeting. We were presented with so many dimensions, so much of information, data, graphs, correlations. It was overwhelming, to say the least. How could we possibly make sense of this and make an informed decision after analyzing so much of information?

Agile Release Train1

Agile Release Train (ART)

The concept of Agile Release Train (ART) is central to understanding the constructs of SAFe® and to implement them. So, what is an ART? Is it a set of teams working in tandem with each other following a common release calendar and Sprint timeline? Or is it a set of features scheduled for release at regular durations to continuously deliver the anticipated business value? Is there any role that is central to the running of an ART? We will try to answer these questions and have a closer look at ART in this blog.

How to Eliminate Muda From Your Kanban System?

The main objectives of the Toyota Production system, which is one of the primary sources of inspiration for Kanban for knowledge work, were to get rid of overburden (muri) and inconsistency (mura), and eliminate waste (muda) from your system. Any system/ business process you are using to develop products or offer services will have a certain amount of waste generated. All the current Kanban products in the market including SwiftKanban have mapped most of the basic principles of Kanban like Limiting Work-in-Progress (WIP), visualization, flow and so on. However, very few of these products have helped identify and measure the waste in your process.
