Enterprise Project Development
Scrum’s Comfort Zone
Scrum
Event-driven
R&D
What is event-driven?• Helpdesk/Support activities
(driven by cases opened by customers, under SLA)
What is event-driven?• Hardening/Packaging phases
(driven by defects found in testing)
Backlog Pains
• How do we manage the flow around the backlog? • How do we ensure we have enough analysis/stories
ready for development? • How do we avoid preparing/analysing too many
stories for the development to work on (Waste)?• We love the visibility Scrum provides us for the
development lifecycle. How do we extend it to the backlog / story elaboration phases?

Kanban
Toyota Production System“The two pillars of the Toyota
production system are just-in-time and automation with a human touch, or autonomation. The tool
used to operate the system is kanban.”
Taiichi Ohno, Toyota Production System (adopted 1962)

When Blocked…
• Lower priority work…– Spikes– Analysis
• Production Capability Improvement work…– Tool Automation– Refactoring– Personal Development– Innovation
• But NOT– Anything which will create
work downstream
NOTE: This doesn’t mean you should ONLY “sharpen the knife” when Blocked!!!

When should I use Kanban?Extend Scrum to the whole
value stream– Upstream - Manage the
Backlog process - All the steps preceding the actual development sprints
– Downstream – Manage system testing, packaging, deployment
When should I use Kanban?
• During hardening sprints• For the support/helpdesk teams/activities• For periods of heavy R&D
When should I use Kanban?
• Another angle to start your transition from– Add visibility and WIP controls to current
workflow– Inspect the constraints/bottelenecks– Adapt the workflow, resources, processes – Scrum
It if it makes sense!– Drive for maximum throughput and fastest time to
delivery– Repeat
