Kanban Coaching Exchange: Exploring Slowness with Thomas Epping
Thursday, January 19, 2023
1:30 – 2:30 PM EST
Online Event
“We need to go faster!” – There are good reasons for an organization to increase the speed of its product delivery. Among them might be a desire for rapid feedback from customers as well as an ability for a rapid response to such feedback. We reframe the call to action of going faster and propose to go less slowly by addressing waiting times within value chains of an organization.
This Kanban Coaching Exchange talk will discuss different ways to reduce waiting times from different perspectives, from tweaks at a single stage of a value chain to opportunities that arise when one considers an entire value chain. We illustrate how a reduction of waiting times can be measured and how such measurements can be used to help raise awareness for product delivery speed and to enable an organization to start having conversations with their customers about it.

Why You Should Stop Assigning Users to the Cards on Your Kanban Board
As a manager, it might feel natural for you to be the one who hands out work to each team member. It feels like the most intuitive approach to take: each person on the team has specific expertise so they should do what they do best.
“This is the most effective approach to get work done,” you might think.
Except when it isn’t.
