There is a lot of confusion about what Kanban is!

Some of this is due to the fact that many people who have never used Kanban have been deriding it – saying it is a mechanistic team management method that doesn’t respect people.

The fact that Kanban is quickly growing and gaining a reputation for success where other Agile methods have had challenges belies that categorization.

But what is Kanban?

Even when listening to Kanban thought leaders one will hear different answers:

1. It’s a power agile management system based on lean-flow.
2. It’s a transition management method to assist teams to achieve continuous learning.
3. It’s a way to create visibility for executives to improve their product portfolio management.

This talk discusses how Kanban actually is a multi-faceted method that assists process, transition and collaboration.

Kanban is not a mere tool, or even a set of practices. It’s a mindset that attends to people, their culture, and the systems they find themselves working in.

The talk presents a few of the basics of Lean-Flow and theory of constraints that it is based on as well as some of the psychological aspects of people adopting new methods.

While this talk is intended for those considering adopting Kanban, those currently using Scrum will find it helpful as many of the principles and practices of Kanban fit well into the Scrum framework.

Addressing software as a service (SaaS) change management is ranked among the top five SaaS challenges for technical professionals.

Current software change management strategies are unsuitable for SaaS solutions as changes are typically rapid and inconsistent.

New change management strategies need to be formed specifically for a SaaS portfolio and take into account that the majority of changes will be pushed and controlled by the SaaS provider, not IT.

In this webinar Kyle Davis (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director will discuss the Gartner agile and risk-oriented approach that enables IT to perform SaaS change management focusing only on the upcoming changes that may disrupt the business and impact enterprise users.

Discussion Topics:

• Why change management is one of the top 5 issues for technical professionals implementing SaaS
• Using risk levels to determine if and when IT should control change management
• Using shorter cycles for SaaS testing to keep up with change cadence
