When this happens, we’re in a pickle. In true pull-system fashion, the developer has pulled another card. Test finds an issue that demands developer’s attention. What to do? (2/11) 
One solution is to say “hey dev, you can only be on two things at once...one of which is developing”. Seems reasonable...and keeps their bandwidth open to fix issues. (3/11)
#kanban tips (1/3)
Model the work, not the “workers”. With team member magnets, checklists, and markers...the bottom design can more than adequately model the work
If work ever “moves left” (e.g. QA/demo passes an item “back to dev”), then the top dsgn breaks. It is all doing.

Another classic anti-pattern is team/individual lanes and “splitting” the work. The bottom option will probably catalyze the right conversations....though the top option with string can also do the trick. (2/4) #kanban
A compromise if teams want their own card for some reason... is a hybrid board with “epics” (larger chunks of work), and all of their related cards.(3/4) #Kanban

My product-nerd-friend @atheus...hey you should post a thread of some drawings. Here goes:
1. The classic “here’s why you do incremental delivery” drawing ... aka “how not to dig a deep hole”. Yet legacy budgeting practices encourage one/not other

2. Here’s is the “perpetual cone of uncertainty” ... namely, unless you are a project shop, you’re likely to ALWAYS have uncertainty, even if you are also reducing it constantly

3. I’m seeing this crazy symmetry in terms of systems / technology & org design. They are all feeding into each other. Exhibit 1: the shift from batch processing to stream processing (cc @gwenshap ) and networked orgs @NielsPflaeging

The main excuse I've heard for tolerating abuse of women has been "We ignore him and are there for each other and the community." 1/n
I'm glad now that great competing events have arisen which not only create a safe environment for women but which repudiate harassment 2/n
Events such as @LeanAgileUS & @LeanAgileScot not only actively steward the respect & safety of those in attendance but are creating 3/n
