kanban stalls at phase 2… but why?
yes, yes, #notallkanban

attack queues
why it’s a good second stepany team adopting Kanban will have them
search-and-destroy is easy to teach, easy to learn
they are evil, which is motivating
why it doesn’t always workcan be difficult to convince micromanagers that reducing them is valuable
once destroyed, can re-form
prevention is harder to learn

look right
@bsktcase #kanbangnomes
work right to left
why it’s a good second stepideal focus for teams who prioritize fast delivery
why it doesn’t always workcustomers and cultures may not value or support fast delivery
