Find out how Kanban is accelerating product design and development at Jaguar Land Rover. Watch the recorded webinar here: https://vimeo.com/172780037 Hamish McMinn, Automotive and IT Project Manager, will explain how Kanban is improving time, cost and quality across new vehicle development projects at Jaguar Land Rover. You'll learn: -Why new product development provides rich opportunities for continuous process improvement. -Benefits and challenges of transferring agile software techniques to hardware design and development. -How to visualize work, focus on flow and increase cross-functional collaboration using LeanKit. Hamish will share learnings from the initial pilot project, and how Kanban is now being scaled across multiple engineering teams.

- 11. 11 1. Queues are the root cause of the majority of economic waste in product development 2. Queues are the analogue of inventory 3. We do not measure or manage queues (practically no one does) 4. Every transaction in product development is a potential queue 5. We have thousands of transactions (opportunities to improve) To improve data supply stability: 1. Make process visible 2. Limit WiP (optimise batch sizes) 3. Focus on flow 4.

- 27. 27 Daily Stand up Meetings In front of the board, three questions: 1. What did we accomplish yesterday? 2. What will we do today? 3. What obstacles are impeding our progress? Objective is not to discuss details in the meeting, but to agree offline help required
- 28. 28 So What is the Board Telling Us? The board is a signalling system, its effectiveness relies on our ability to read the signals and raise the questions it prompts. E.g.: • What needs to happen to progress these items? • Why is this item blocked? • Who has the next action? • What is date to green? • When will overdue be ready?
- 30. 30 Highlights of Our Learning to Date • Visual Management • Accelerate feedback • Decompose large batches • WIIFM • Success breeds success • People’s behaviour (not tools) delivers outcomes • Replicate good practice • Deep vs superficial learning
