Solution With Kanban Kanban is an uncomplicated and easy-tolearn project control framework that was inspired from Toyota’s just-in-time (JIT) scheduling methodology. Kanban allows organizations to focus with all their time and resources on delivering business value to their clients rather than spending time and resources for oppressive tasks for project administration. Kanban has the following advantages compared to other mainstream project management methodologies: • Kanban reflects project workflow clearly, highlights bottlenecks of workflow the day they happen. Kanban ensures that Kanban team members resolve impediments immediately rather than piling them up before the workflow comes out of control state. • Kanban enforces quality standards at each step of the workflow.
• Kanban ensures that Kanban team members are not allowed to prematurely close tasks. • Kanban limits work in progress, clearing Kanban members to change their work contexts continually. • Kanban has only on-demand basis planning meetings to focus on the real business results.
Kanban Service Level Expectation (SLE) - Kanban Classes Of Service Kanban is a proven framework to establish reliable Kanban Service Level Expectations (SLEs) or so-called Kanban Classes of Services. What Kanban does is to simplify project management, reduce time spent on unproductive meetings, bottlenecks, and rework. It enables organizations to command their quality goals better and make their throughput more predictable and consistent over time. Like all other processes, new Kanban teams need 3 to 5 weeks to adapt, and 4 to 6 months to stabilize their Kanban Service Level Expectations (SLE).
