Build Better Business Software by Telling and Visualizing Stories "From a story to working software--this book helps you to get to the essence of what to build. Highly recommended!" --Oliver Drotbohm Storytelling is at the heart of human communication--why not use it to overcome costly misunderstandings when designing software? By telling and visualizing stories, domain experts and team members make business processes and domain knowledge tangible. Domain Storytelling enables everyone to understand the relevant people, activities, and work items. With this guide, the method's inventors explain how domain experts and teams can work together to capture insights with simple pictographs, show their work, solicit feedback, and get everyone on the same page. Stefan Hofer and Henning Schwentner introduce the method's easy pictographic language, scenario-based modeling techniques, workshop format, and relationship to other modeling methods. Using step-by-step case studies, they guide you through solving many common problems: Fully align all project participants and stakeholders, both technical and business-focused Master a simple set of symbols and rules for modeling any process or workflow Use workshop-based collaborative modeling to find better solutions faster Draw clear boundaries to organize your domain, software, and teams Transform domain knowledge into requirements, embedded naturally into an agile process Move your models from diagrams and sticky notes to code Gain better visibility into your IT landscape so you can consolidate or optimize it This guide is for everyone who wants more effective software--from developers, architects, and team leads to the domain experts, product owners, and executives who rely on it every day.

"I set myself the task of describing the 'humane, start with what you do now approach to change' not as a productivity tool, but as a management method built around a strong framework of values-a way to help organizations work better for their people, their customers, and other stakeholders." - Mike Burrows, author Kanban from the Inside takes a distinctive approach to the Kanban Method-using a system of nine values to explain what it is, to give insight into how its practitioners think, and to offer practical advice on how to apply it. Readers new to Kanban will understand why and how it works, while those with experience will appreciate its fresh perspective and the connections it makes with a range of related models. Part I draws on real-world experience to explain the Kanban Method through nine values: transparency, balance, collaboration, customer focus, flow, leadership, understanding, agreement, and respect. It also introduces Kanban's three Agendas and the Kanban Lens. Part II describes other models useful to understanding and applying the Kanban Method more effectively. It is a tour through related bodies of knowledge, including Systems Thinking, Lean, Agile, and Theory of Constraints. Part III is a step-by-step implementation guide that brings up to date the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban (STATIK). It offers practical ways to capture and address in your Kanban implementation the needs of your organization, your colleagues, and your customers. --------------------------- "This book is the new standard that I will recommend to anyone getting started with Kanban." -Wolfgang Wiedenroth, Kanban Trainer/Coach, it-agile "It is not focused just on the mechanics of the kanban board; rather it explains everything you need around it to keep a Kanban initiative moving." -Klaus Leopold, Kanban Trainer/Coach, LEANability "This gave me a deeper understanding of familiar concepts and introduced concepts new to me." -Kevin Murray, Delivery Director, Valtech UK

The Kanban Maturity Model (KMM)l is a new, powerful tool for coaches and consultants advising medium and large enterprises on transformation and improvement using the Kanban Method. From the author of the best-selling Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for your Technology Business, David J. Anderson, together with Teodora Bozheva, this book maps out seven levels of organizational maturity against the six general practices of Kanban to ensure appropriate application of Kanban practices and successful adoption of the approach. The KMM describes a roadmap and concrete actions that enable organizations to achieve fitness-for-purpose and exceptional business agility. This book is for consultants, coaches, corporate change agents, and managers who must lead medium- and large-scale enterprises through a transition to improve their operations and service delivery. This book is for businesses that aspire to superior business agility, to deliver fit-for-purpose products and services, to delight customers, and to provide the security of long-term survival associated with mature businesses that consistently meet or exceed customer expectations. The KMM is designed to eliminate the two most common failure modes in the adoption of Kanban: overreaching, causing an aborted start; false summit plateaus and failure to realize full benefit. KMM provides advisors with the knowledge to create just enough positive stress to provoke improvement without overdoing it and causing a regression in corporate performance. This book covers: Understanding the seven Kanban maturity levels Benefits of the KMM How the KMM drives capability and maturity to enable fitness-for-purpose and business agility The KMM Architecture and in-depth understanding of the model Maps 161 specific practices against the six general practices of the Kanban Method and seven maturity levels, describing the intent, value, and expected outcomes from each practice. KMM-specific practices codify more than fourteen years of Kanban implementations in firms from small to extremely large, across five continents and many industries. KMM documents the body of knowledge that coaches and organizations need to develop sustainable change, build a culture of continuous improvement, unity around a shared purpose, and improved business outcome. Provides a comprehensive set of example kanban boards suitable for the whole range of organizational maturity levels The comprehensive set of kanban board designs provide ideas for visualizing work items, workflows of different types and complexity, risks, classes of services, shared resources, and other aspects of complex interdependent enterprise services. Defines in detail what practices and metrics to use--and how--for effective workflow management. Defines the specific Kanban practices that enable delivering high quality products and services and optimizing economic results. Describes the integration of KMM with existing models and methods, in particular Lean/TPS, Real World Risk Model (by Nassim Nichoals Taleb), CMMI, and Mission Command/Auftragstaktik. Maps twenty cultural values to the seven maturity levels, enabling leadership guidance and coaching for a stronger, more effective corporate culture. Includes vital coaching tips that facilitate the correct implementation of specific practices. The KMM will help you avoid the two most typical failure modes in Kanban implementations: overreaching, causing an aborted start; false summit plateaus and failure to realize full benefit. Use the model to understand the current situation of your organization and define appropriate actions that will drive it to the desired state.

The Kanban board is constructed, the swim lanes are drawn and the blockade stickers are positioned. Now what? Kanban is not able to reach its full potential in many companies. Often, the meaning behind the individual practices, such as WIP limits, is not correctly understood. All hope is placed in a method instead of actions. Kanban helps uncover the weak points in a work system, and as a result, reveals how to better generate value for the customer. This book can help in tweaking an existing Kanban system, as well as expand your own repertoire of solutions. Klaus Leopold describes in detail the principles and functionality of Kanban, which are not always intuitive. He discusses typical problems that he has observed in his work with real-world Kanban systems. Klaus illustrates the possibilities that exist when the entire value creation chain of a company is taken into account and how tools such as Cost of Delay and forecasting can become strategic aids. Thus, it should become clear that Kanban is not a team method, but rather a method for improvement that considers the entire value creation chain of a company.
