I attended the second Limited WIP Society (Sweden) gathering. It’s a bunch of people that have taken a liking to Kanban practices.
This evening David J Andersson joined us and gave a very interesting presentation on how Kanban teams can reach CMMI level 5, i.e. ranked as very mature. This is, apparently, not repeated by teams doing other agile methods.
OK – during the second half, me and Joakim Sundén presented the Red Bead Experiment. Well, “played it out” I think would be a more appropriate way to describe it. It’s a game that aims to drive home the point Dr. W. Edwards Deming made – “a bad system will beat a good person every time”.
If you haven’t seen it before, there is an excellent recording with Benjamin Mitchell and David Joyce.
