160. How to Supercharge your Agile Board (Kanban Board)
#agile #scrum #kanban #DevelopmentThatPays

Kanban boards, Agile boards Scrum boards - whatever you call them we're going deep on them I'm talking column naming process columns buffer colums Swim Lanes blocked items WIP limits card aging everything from the basics to some rather nifty tips and tricks Welcome back to the shed at the bottom of the garden where we are for the very first time attempting a fancy 2 camera setup. And no: what's coming is not a rant about physical boards versus Agile boards. Most of what I'm going to be talking about today can be done on both but I will be highlighting things that can only be done on a physical board and one or two things that can only be done on an electronic board That said what are we looking at here well we're looking at a Kanban board that's probably the most correct word for it name for it Agile board I think is probably become quite common Scrum board as as well often used by Scrum teams surprising that whatever you call it I would recommend it for any Agile team regardless of framework or methodology. Three columns - not three Swim Lanes by the way: I'll say more about Swim Lanes later. Three columns To Do Doing and Done. This is the only column where work gets done - you could call that an active column I call it a process column. I'm not even sure that's the right term if you know of if you know of the correct or better term please let me know in the comments The board of course is for tracking work the very first board I had any dealings with was was one very much like this it was using a whiteboard with drawn on columns and index cards to track individual backlog items across the board aided and a beted of course by a Blog of BluTak other brands available the second board I had dealings with was printed on a big sheet of paper with columns just wide enough for a single PostIt and this is how the board might look for a Scrum team if this was right at the beginning of the Sprint the items here are essentially the Sprint Backlog That's of course not the case for Kanban more on that in a moment when an item is picked up it's moved into this column to indicate that it's now being actively worked on and it's at that point and know earlier that this item should be assigned to a person as time goes on items get pulled in from to-do and eventually items may get all the way across to the done column and by the time if this is again if this is still the Scrum team by the time we get into the middle of the Sprint that the board looks pretty much as it would for a Kanban team Going back to the to-do column as I said Scrum teams have a Sprint they have Sprint planning they have a way of generating work for this column. In Kanban things are a little different in Kanban the the work pretty much drives everything and we can enable that with another line on this [Music] board this in Kanban is called called a trigger point. It's very much like a reorder point that supermarkets and such like will use to let them know that they're running short on a particular item and that they should go on and order more stock and that's exactly how it works on the board in this position there were three items still left in to do well nothing to do at the moment but when this item gets picked up and now these two items move move up above this trigger point that's the time to call a meeting and and typically it takes a while to get the meeting together to run the meeting to the result of which will be more items for the to-do column and the idea being is that if this is the state when the meeting is called there's enough work to carry on with if it takes say a day or perhaps ABS two days to get that meeting organized so maybe this one gets picked up in the meantime this one gets Al also gets picked up and then finally the result of that planning meeting would be
