Agile Organizational Design & Kanban Flow
Organizational Design is a critical step in the overall Agile transformation and successful adoption. Dimitri shares his vast experience to illustrate how organizations can structure themselves to get the most benefit from being Agile and Lean. This presentation focuses on flowing work effectively using an Agile Canvas (i.e.:Organizational Design) and leveraging Kanban boards to ensure transparency/accountability at all levels of the organization. Once we master setting up the ideal organizational structure, we will explore actual Kanban board examples to visualize the flow of work across the organization. Ultimately, it’s all about connecting clear goals, with meaningful features and well written stories; while reducing dependencies and creating simple communication channels. You will walk away with real examples and techniques that you can implement immediately within your organization.

“Organizations that are truly lean have a strong competitive advantage because they respond very rapidly and in a highly disciplined manner to market demand, rather than try to predict the future.” – Mary Poppendieck
Build the right thing: Understand and deliver real value to real customers. Build it fast: Dramatically reduce the lead time from customer need to delivered solution. Build the thing right: Guarantee quality and speed with automated testing, integration and deployment. Learn through feedback: Evolve the product design based on early and frequent end-to-end feedback.

Throughput is about performance…Throughput is based on actual data to represent the number of cards delivered in a given period of time on a specific Kanban board.
Cycle Time is about responsivenessCycle Time is calculated from the time a card is worked on by the team until the time the card is delivered. In simple terms, it’s how long a card stays within the Work-In-Progress (WIP) columns of your board.
