Expanding Agile Success
Results
• More innovation relative to routine operations
• React to change faster
• Increased responsiveness to customer needs
• Greater efficiency and productivity
What if a company were to
launch dozens, hundreds,
or even thousands of agile
teams throughout the
organization?
Would scaling up agile
improve corporate
performance as much as
agile methods improve
team performance?

Kanban’s transparency is key
to all other Lean change

Start from where
you are today, even
(especially) if that’s
Scrum
Evolve
1. Visualize the (current) workflow
2. Limit Work-in-Progress (WIP) *
3. Manage (for smooth) flow
4. Make process policies explicit
5. Implement feedback loops
6. Improve collaboratively
using Kanban to apply new models
* Often implicitly at first
Kanban Principles
19. © 2019 Planview, Inc. | 19
Look beyond the
tactical practices to
gain real value.
The real value is in
the principles.
Do BothScrum
• A structure of new roles, “rituals” and cadence
• No prohibition against visualization, WIP limitation
or flow measurement
• A mature Scrum team with good technical practices
often looks awfully Kanban-ish
Kanban
• Evolution through measurement
• No opinion on roles, meetings or iterations
• Software dev teams who use Kanban to become
more Agile often act quite Scrum-y
