Kanban systems have emerged as a fantastic and easy-to-use agile tool for tracking and managing workflow.

But something interesting is happening – even as application teams have embraced Kanban systems as part of going agile, on the other side of the IT department operations managers and system administrators have begun using Kanban as a DevOps tool.

Originally developed as a management tool for manufacturing, the analogy of using factory workflow to create products efficiently is proving full of lessons for all layers of IT – from projects and applications to deployment and ongoing operations.

Bryon will discuss the different areas of the development and delivery life cycle in which Kanban can be leveraged.

On the operational/production side, Bryon will help you understand how to level out workflow, reduce operational Work in Progress (WIP), and use kanbans to track, visualize, and optimize flow of work.

On the application side, he will discuss how an agile shop uses Kanban to help prioritize, estimate, and keep track of features, as well as of the build in general.
