Visualize your Workflow<\/h3>\n<p>Put simply \u2014 if you can\u2019t see it, you can\u2019t improve it. Visualizing your team\u2019s Kanban workflow not only helps you find opportunities for improvement, but it also helps align your team with other teams, stakeholders, and executives who need transparency into the work.<\/p>\n<p>With a well-mapped Kanban workflow, your team can quickly align on your unique process, see what\u2019s needed to get work done, and identify bottlenecks. Additionally, managers and executives have an at-a-glance view of work status and completion. Human beings process visual information 6,000 times faster than text, so visualizing your workflow helps disseminate critical information at a glance, freeing up your team members to focus on work that truly adds value.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12302\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/LK_blogPhoto_KanbanFlow2-1024x398.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/LK_blogPhoto_KanbanFlow2-1024x398.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/LK_blogPhoto_KanbanFlow2-1024x398-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/LK_blogPhoto_KanbanFlow2-1024x398-768x299.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/LK_blogPhoto_KanbanFlow2-1024x398-750x292.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Control your Work in Process (WIP)<\/h3>\n<p>WIP refers to any piece of work that has been started but is not yet completed. Since value is only delivered once a piece of work has been finished, achieving flow relies heavily on moving work through the Kanban workflow quickly, until it reaches its completed state. While it\u2019s natural for us to want to take on as much work as possible, Kanban teaches us that we can move faster if we focus on fewer things.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a highway: When the road is at full capacity with cars, traffic comes to a complete stop. When cars are not jam-packed together, they\u2019re able to move at the speed limit and reach their destination faster. This is because too much WIP amplifies the negative effect of any roadblocks in your Kanban workflow, causing ripple effects on resources that may not otherwise have been immediately impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Too much WIP can also result in context switching, which introduces wasted time into the system. Understanding what your team\u2019s ideal WIP is, and limiting the amount of work flowing through your system to that number, can have huge impact on your Kanban flow.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0Look for Queues<\/h3>\n<p>When work waits between steps, a queue is formed. Queues impact your flow because, even though the work is simply in a wait state and no one is actively addressing it, it still counts as part of your WIP. By reducing time spent in queues as much as possible, you can improve flow across your system and improve your team\u2019s cycle time.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the formation of a queue is a strong signal of an opportunity to improve \u2014 when you see a queue forming, ask yourself, \u201cWhat can I do to get this work flowing again?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>4. Eliminate Blockers<\/h3>\n<p>In Kanban workflows, anything that prohibits a piece of work from moving forward is called a blocker. A few examples of blockers could be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The primary owner of the work is on vacation and no one else can pick it up<\/li>\n<li>A technical limitation prevents the work from moving forward<\/li>\n<li>Budget has not been approved<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Blocked work is different from work in queues because queued work is simply waiting on the next step to pull it into the system, while blocked work is waiting on an external dependency or condition to be removed. Blockers are good signals for team members to swarm on a work item to remove the challenge, as they impede flow by stopping work items in their tracks.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Institute Process Policies<\/h3>\n<p>Policies are a minimal set of enabling constraints that allow teams to have a shared understanding of how they want work to move through their system. By making these policies explicit in your Kanban workflow, you can reduce confusion about the process and move work through the system seamlessly.\u00a0Some common Kanban workflow policies include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A policy that describes when it\u2019s appropriate to move a card into the \u201cDeploy\u201d lane<\/li>\n<li>Explanations of various icons that represent critical details on each card<\/li>\n<li>Cadence of team standup meetings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring_Flow_in_Planview_AgilePlace\"><\/span>Measuring Flow in Planview AgilePlace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several Planview AgilePlace reports that help teams achieve Kanban flow. Lead Time, Cycle Time, and Throughput reports, in addition to Cumulative Flow Diagrams (CFD), all help teams see how fast their work is moving through the system and where they can focus their efforts to boost flow. Learn how to use these reports\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/articles\/lean-metrics-improve-flow\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of boosting Kanban flow is to deliver value to the end customer as quickly as possible, and this does not happen overnight. Start by using these five tactics to identify, analyze, and act upon opportunities for improvement.
