Kanban is gaining popularity in the software development world. It deserves to be considered as a means to manage software development. Kanban is a light-weight agile model that provides visibility into work in process, the capacity of a given resource pool, and the current workflow. The Core Test Strategy Lab at Hewlett Packard has adopted Kanban, and has seen concrete evidence of its efficacy. Using our experience in the Core Test Strategy Lab, this paper will do the following:
- Explain how Kanban can be used as an agile software development method
- Provide some guidelines for running Kanban effectively
- Lay out some situations where the use of Kanban will be of benefit
- Elaborate on how the low up front cost of Kanban accelerated its adoption
- Identify some situations in which Kanban will not be of benefit
Target audience: Intermediate
