Daily Flow - a chat with Steve Tendon about constraints in knowledge work

Hi, I'm John and I'm passionate about the world of agility, scrum, and kanban. So much so, that I dedicated the last decade and a half of my career to helping organizations and individuals with implementing agility. 

Listen to regular nuggets from an active globally recognized practitioner, trainer, and coach in tech and non-tech at the home of authentic agility. 

I am a Thinkers360 top 10 agility thought leader, Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainer and course steward, co-author of Kanban Guide, Prokanban.org Professional Kanban Trainer and LeSS Friendly Scrum Trainer.

This week, we delve into the key elements of a Kanban board, such as workflow definitions, cycle time, throughput, work item age, and Work-In-Progress (WIP). We break down the types of work—discovery, development, and delivery—and discuss the critical time horizons: discovering the "next best thing," developing with evidence, delivering customer-ready products, and reflecting on past releases.


Dive into the importance of avoiding backward movement on the Kanban board and explore the use of swim lanes to facilitate flexible workflow. Discover the benefits of separating discovery work items from development work items and the option of combining all elements into a single work item with subtasks.
