Microsoft XIT Sustaining Engineering
Deferred commitment pull system coupled to probabilistic understanding of lead time
• Improved productivity over 200%
• Greatly improved predictability
• Shortened lead times by ~90%
Use of Kanban systems is minimally intrusive for engineers. Process methodologies didn’t change
• PSP/TSP remained in use throughout
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Conclusion
Kanban is good for service delivery
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Kanban Method Emerges
Kanban systems aren’t enough when there is too much variability in the workflow and too much heterogeneity of work types and trouble matching worker skills & experience
• Now known as a system liquidity problem
• Visual boards are introduced
• Kanban limits create stress & provoke process improvements
• Multiple classes of service emerge
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Kanban Method Matures
A combination of elements of Kanban such as system replenishment, classes of service, understanding cost of delay, transparency and metrics start to change entire company culture
Operations review drives BU wide improvements and starts to influence other BUs within the firm
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Conclusion
The Kanban Method is a management system for
cultural change & improving organizational maturity
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
First Kanban Software
Digital Whiteboard application developed by Darren Davis at Corbis runs on top Microsoft Team Foundation Server
Workers run Digital Whiteboard on their desktop but continue to use physical boards in parallel
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Conclusion
We need software to get good metrics easily and amplify the management value of Kanban
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Kanban on Big Projects
$11 million budget project with up to 55 people, 16 month schedule, approximately 2400 user story scope
2-tiered kanban boards emerge to visualize parent-child dependencies in requirements
Introduces hybrid of dedicated teams and floating project personnel using avatars
• Specialists such as architects, UX
• Generalists who can help any team
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Conclusion
Kanban is useful on large projects to improve
predictability.
More guidance on prioritizing backlogs is required at large
scale.

STATIK
Recognizing the need to teach people how to get started with Kanban, training classes adopt the use of the STATIK exercises
STATIK = the Systems Thinking Approach To Implementing Kanban
• the method is presented at conference in 2012
• the acronym will not be introduced until 2013
[email protected] @leankanbanu Copyright Lean Kanban Inc.
Kanban has 3 approaches to scaling

Looking downstream, you want the system to help you anticipate
and manage dependenciesLooking upstream, you want the system to help you anticipate and
manage demand
Combine the two, and across the organization you smooth flow
end-to-end and help keep demand in balance withoverall system capability

If we start too early, we forgo the option and opportunity to do something else that may
provide value.
If we start too late we risk incurring the cost of delay
If we pull the work into our kanban system on Nov 11 we
have a 6 out of 7 chance of on-time delivery

If we start as late as November 25 we only have a 50% chance
of on-time delivery
However, the cost of delay incurred if we deliver within 60
days is relatively small. We have an 85% chance of achieving delivery with acceptable cost of delay

If we are conservative and do not wish to carry any risk of late delivery or any risk of

Summer 2014!!!

On August 11st the item becomes available for selection

The ideal time to start is November 11th.
After December 19th our option to deliver this item expires and
we would discard it from our pool.

Lead time is perhaps the most important metric we gain from
kanban systemsLead time coupled with cost of
delay sensitivity analysis is a key enabler of deferred commitment and consensus on when to make
commitments
