In a blog post today on agilefocus.com, William Pietri outlines his approach to tracking experimental work through the value stream of a Lean Startup. Being a “Lean Startup” ourselves (though we don’t really think of ourselves as a “startup”…but close enough), I found this line of thought intriguing. So, I decided to take a crack at modeling William’s proprosed Kanban board layout using Planview AgilePlace Kanban. Here are a couple of examples of ways that this “experiments” flow could be modeled, based on the drawings in William’s blog post.
Separate backlogs for features/experiments, and parallel workflows. Showing ‘released’ on the board itself.A slightly different take, with ‘released’ moved into the archive (not shown).
