Presentation: The Science of Kanban

Track: Agile Wednesday / Time: Wednesday 10:45 - 11:30 / Location: Don Giovanni 1

Science is the building and organising of knowledge into testable explanations and predictions about the world. Kanban is an approach which leverages many scientific discoveries to enable improved flow, value and capability. This session will explore some of science behind kanban, focussing on mathematics and brain science in particular, in order to explain the benefits of studying a system, visualising and limiting it, sensing its performance and learning in order to improve it. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why and how kanban systems work so that they can apply the thinking with their own teams and organisations.
