While Kanban is an evolutionary (non-disruptive) change management process, the fact is that it requires a change in organizational and management practices and behavior that can be daunting. The best place to begin that change is at a personal level.

The images below show a way to do it as a physical board and on an electronic board such as Swift Kanban.

One of the key benefits that David Anderson, the renowned Kanban thought-leader and father of the Kanban Method for software development highlights about Kanban is that it is evolutionary and not revolutionary. That is to say, it does not introduce a humongous new set of processes in an organization and cause massive disruption like traditional methods have tended to do.

Kanban says PULL, don't PUSH - and folks, the discussion is not even about Bullying!

Software development using Kanban principles has not focused on Effort Tracking (though there hasn’t been a strong position against the same). At Digité, we were practitioners of Iterative Software Development. As part of this process, we emphasized on Daily Effort Tracking (time filing) for several reasons:

It has been an exciting 3 weeks since we launched the GA release of SwiftKanban. Clearly, Kanban for software development and IT teams is being seen as the elusive weapon that promises to take Agile to the enterprise. From the volume of queries and the common themes of the inquiries, it is clear Agile practitioners know what they are looking for and will be demanding the right solution to help them make the transition to being an Agile enterprise.
