During a recent conversation with a Delivery Manager, Soma heard that the delivery team is complaining about having too many meetings, and they want to move to Kanban because Kanban has no meetings.

In this episode, we delved into one of the essential practices of Kanban, which is "implementing feedback loops". We explored how Kanban identifies feedback loop opportunities known as "Cadences" and how they are utilized to enhance the system's flow and predictability without adding any unnecessary overhead or distractions for the team. We also discussed two distinct types of Kanban cadences, namely meetings and reviews, and their respective purposes.

While speaking with a product manager, Orod observed her desire to establish a standardized workflow throughout the entire organization.

In this episode, we delved into the concept of workflow and how Kanban views work as a continuous flow, from the moment a customer demands something until that need is fulfilled. We also examined key considerations for designing an effective workflow and discussed whether standardizing workflows is a sound approach.

During a recent conversation with an Agile coach, Soma heard that Kanban might not be the best approach for teams with low maturity because it's less structured.

In this episode, we explored one of the key practices of Kanban, "Make Policies Explicit," and discussed how it could benefit teams and organisations depending on their level of maturity. We shared our own experiences and acknowledged that there may be challenges for teams when they attempt to collaboratively decide on how they want to work together.
