I know, I’m a bit late. The German version of “Practical Kanban” was already released in November 2016. But that doesn’t change the fact that the first year of my second book was full of motivating and – I have to admit – flattering feedback and reviews. It took another year to translate the book […]

Troy Magennis is my Chief Executive Hero, I just have to call him that way. He’s one of the nicest people I know and a fantastic partner for trainings as well. On December 4 and 5 we had actually planned to give an „Improving Kanban“ training together for the first time with a bit more […]

At the LKCE in Hamburg I had the opportunity to give my talk two times – in German as well as in English. Now after the event there are two good news, one for me an one for you. The good one for me: Both my talks have been voted by the participants on ranks […]

In this episode of Lean Business Agility, I talk to Cliff Hazell about the Spotify Model. What is known today as “The Spotify Model” goes back to an article from 2012 that explains how Spotify worked at the time. Since then, countless organizations have adopted this practice and “implemented” the Spotify model in the hope […]

It was really nice at the Agile Greece Summit, and I mean not only the bright sunshine on the conference day. Two years ago, the first conference for the southern European Agile Community took place with around 200 participants. On 22nd September 2017, more than 600 people strolled around the old Papastratos Tabakfabrik, a truly […]

A drastic title, but I really mean it. Some people have a fit when I say that you should limit the work in a Kanban system. The notion of limiting them, and the work, leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. At the implementation level, it sounds like, “You think I’m not capable of doing two things at […]

In my new book Practical Kanban I conducted an interview with Markus Andrezak about the topics prioritization, cost of delay and risk assessment. Markus has been developing high traffic, high revenue internet products for more than 15 years.
