Hi, my name is Bennet Vallet,
and welcome to this
presentation on Kanban.
As an Agile
practitioner and coach,
I've used Kanban extensively
for more than a decade,
and always found Kanban to be
one of the most
effective ways of
managing the flow of work,
especially in an Agile context.
Therefore, my focus on this
presentation will be on
flow and the five key
practices of Kanban that
enable continuous flow.

Kanban provides a simple
method of visualizing,
measuring and optimizing
the flow of work.
It's principles
can be applied in
almost any context,
from your personal or
team to-do list to
the organizational product
portfolio pipeline.
Kanban will be all about
optimizing and
managing flow using
lean and agile principles
and practices.
Unlike Scrum, Kanban
itself is not a framework.
It does not come with
a specific and
prescriptive structure,
roles, or responsibilities.
Rather, Kanban is a lean method
consisting a number
of key practices
to manage the flow of work.
Really, Kanban can be
applied to any
knowledge work setting.
Within the agile community,
we see Kanban applied
in various structures.
In fact, it is a management
method or approach that
can be applied to any existing
process or way of working.
Unlike Scrum, Kanban
does not adhere to
time-boxed or
sprint-based increments.
Rather, Kanban emphasizes
the continuous delivery
of valuable increments.
As in all agile methods,
the product development
team iterates on
stories or features and
delivers value
incrementally to customers.
Today, we see an
ever-increasing amount of
examples of Kanban being
utilized by marketing,
human resources,
customer support,
education, and of course,
product development.
