Kanban in Action Quotes

“Remember that the policies are only that:
policies—not rules that must be followed. They
can, and should, be broken from time to time,
but the decision to do so should be made
intentionally and often with careful consideration
from the whole team.”
― Joakim Sunden, Kanban in Action

“We always ended the meeting with the question, “Anything else that all teams need to know?”
― Joakim Sunden, Kanban in Action

“Although keeping a separate
“parking lot” for blocked items might seem like a good idea,
we advise against it. It’s basically the same thing as saying that
it’s OK to be blocked—“Look, we even have a dedicated area
on the board for it!” Keeping the blocked item in its column keeps it in your
face, affects your amount of WIP, and forces you to constantly have to consider
it during standups.”
― Joakim Sunden, Kanban in Action
