Kanban Series: How to manage discovery and delivery work on a Kanban board

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.
