#kanban

With one of my clients, we have been using kanban boards for YEARS to organize to-dos.

The whole point of kanban boards, or a big point of them, is that it makes tracking progress on projects and who is in charge of what much more efficient. You don't have overlapping and conflicting to-do lists in 18 different emails, word documents, Google sheets, etc etc. You don't waste time on writing and rewriting to-do lists.

Well, after several years of using kanban boards, during which she must have become more familiar with how they work, especially because when she's had questions I've walked her through different ways to view her to do's and my to do's and everyone's to dos ...

(and no, *I* did not initiate the use of kanban boards, and may have had *less* experience with them back when she started using them then she did ...)

She's officially decided we need to duplicate everything in emails and Google documents.

She doesn't want to abandon the kanban boards. She just wants to "add this" to make everything "be all in one place."

(except that it's doing the opposite.)

So I spent like an hour and a half this morning writing her to do list. Which will be out of date in a few days if not hours. Which will need to continually be manually updated every few days.

And yeah I get paid for writing her to do lists, but you know, I'd rather get paid for doing something else that isn't duplicating work already done elsewhere and unnecessarily bogging down our processes.

#Scrum vs. #Kanban: Unveiling the Agile Powerhouses Vabro is back, and today we're diving into the world of Agile project management! Let's dissect two of the most popular frameworks: Scrum and Kanban. Both are designed for flexibility and continuous improvement, but they cater to different workflows. Here's a breakdown to help you pick the perfect fit for your project: #Scrum: The #Sprints Specialist - #Focus: Structured, time-boxed iterations called sprints (usually 1-4 weeks). - #Roles: Scrum Master, Product Owner, Development Team. - #Workflow: Clear phases within a sprint: Planning, Daily Scrum, Development, Review, Retrospective. - #Strengths: Excellent for complex projects with well-defined requirements. Promotes focus, team collaboration, and fast delivery of working features. - #Challenges: Less adaptable to frequent changes mid-sprint. #Kanban: The Continuous Flow Champion - #Focus: Visualizing workflow with a Kanban board. Tasks move through stages (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). - #Roles: Less structured and might have Kanban Manager and Kanban team members who manage their workload using Boards. - #Workflow: Continuous flow of work, new tasks can be added anytime. - #Strengths: Ideal for projects with evolving requirements or unpredictable - workloads. Emphasizes continuous improvement and flexibility. - #Challenges: Can lack the structure and focus of Scrum. Requires strong team discipline to manage workflow effectively. Choosing Your Agile Ally: #Scrum is ideal for: Complex projects with clear requirements, predictable timelines, and a need for focused development cycles. #Kanban is ideal for: Projects with ongoing changes, unpredictable workloads, and a need for continuous delivery and adaptation. Still unsure? Let's discuss! We, at Vabro, are experts in Agile methodologies. Feel free to comment below with your project challenges, and we'll help you pick the perfect Agile framework.

Since Kate and Don Wiest favor folk art, their stay in Tokyo has launched a collection of kanban, antique shop signs which often display ingenious imagery. The Pinocchio-like character has pickles for sale. The foot marks a store for tabi, special split-toed socks for Japanese sandals.
