Why I Went Looking

![Page 4: Approaches to Kanban with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) Dec 6-2012](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110204/55d52ed1bb61eb810b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Symptom
Release Date: in 9-12 months
“We don’t have staff for that project/work”
Lead time for Feature: 12 months
ETA of Bug Fix: ???
“That isn’t what we wanted.”
“We have to get this out right away!”
“The business unit built that?”
“That feature doesn’t matter anymore.”
“We’re really late.”
“We’re waiting on other teams.”
“We’ve got 100s of bugs waiting.”
![Page 5: Approaches to Kanban with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) Dec 6-2012](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110204/55d52ed1bb61eb810b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problem
Lots of work, not enough capacity• Quality suffers• Features delayed
• Crammed in
• Technical debt• Technical innovation vanishes
• Can’t quantify either
Disengaged people!• A problem only people
can solve
![Page 6: Approaches to Kanban with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) Dec 6-2012](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110204/55d52ed1bb61eb810b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Another Problem
Why is this still a problem?
We’re great problem solvers• But not our
problems

What We’ve Tried So Far
What’s Prevalent– Chaos– Waterfall – Scrum
Still Looking…– Chaos is … chaotic– Waterfall not well suited
to knowledge work• Large batch, single
pass, long duration workflow
– Scrum is well suited but book methods are prescriptive without understanding context
– Adoption itself is hard!
![Page 9: Approaches to Kanban with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) Dec 6-2012](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110204/55d52ed1bb61eb810b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
