In his book, Kanban – Successful Evolutionary Change for your Technology Business, David Anderson identified five core properties that have been observed to be present in each successful implementation of the Kanban Method.
- Visualisieren Sie den Arbeitsablauf
- Limit WIP (work in process)
- Fluss verwalten
- Prozessrichtlinien explizit machen
- Improve Collaboratively (using Models and the Scientific Method)
The fourth item on the list, “Make Process Policies Explicit,” is, in our opinion, a key enabler of evolutionary, collaborative change in a Kanban system. As the organization identifies opportunities to improve the system, this knowledge is “written in” to the Kanban board itself. This allows us to capture and preserve organizational learning by building it into the system we use to manage our work – the Kanban board.
Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, eine Kanban-Tafel zu modifizieren, um Prozessrichtlinien explizit zu machen. Eine davon besteht darin, das Board neu zu gestalten, um die Arbeitsabläufe zu spezifizieren. Eine andere Möglichkeit ist die Verwendung von WIP-Limits, mit denen wir explizit festlegen, wie viel WIP wir annehmen können.
Planview AgilePlace contains two unique features that further enable a Kanban team to make process policies explicit. One is to use policies for a Class of Service. Each class of service defined for your Planview AgilePlace board can have an associated policy. When viewing an item with that class of service, a Planview AgilePlace user can right-click on the card and choose “view CoS policy” to view the Class of Service policy.
For example, here’s a shot of our internal development team’s policy for the “Customer Flight” class of service:
Another feature in Planview AgilePlace is the ability to define a policy (or a “legend”) for a particular lane or sub-lane. For example, what is the team’s definition of “done?” As with other board configurations, this is quickly and easily done within the board editor with a WYSIWYG text-editor that also allows linking to longer policy documents stored elsewhere. All of the board users have the ability to quickly reference the lane policies by hovering over an icon on the lane header.
