Kanban Misconception: Kanban is Too Complex

Unlike Scrum, which provides a basic framework to start, teams adopting Kanban need to make some decisions. These include:

• What work do we deliver and to whom?
• What steps and stages occur to the work as produce our deliverables?
• What does it mean to be done with the work at each stage?
• How much work should be in the Kanban system to optimize value delivery?
• Is all work treated the same or is some work more important than other work?

While there are a lot of decisions to make, it’s not rocket science to set up a Kanban system. For more information, please contact us for our Kanban practice paper or access to our Kanban Overview online course.
