WIP — Work in… What? | Scrum.orgBy: Peter Götz, Professional Scrum Trainer, Scrum.orgScrum and #kanban are a great combination. With this insight more and more Scrum Teams become aware of terms and phrases used in Kanban. Like ‘WIP’.When I have used this acronym in the past I have read it as ‘work in progress’. In his book ‘The Goal’ Eliyahu M. Goldratt consequently uses ‘work in process’. I realized this but didn’t give it much thought.This week, though, I discussed WIP with a colleague and we talked about the difference of ‘work in progress’ and ‘work in process’. And only then I realized that the two phrases mean something completely different.Work in Progressprogress (n): a forward or onward movement (as to an objective or to a goal)progress (v): 1. to move forward or 2. to develop to a higher, better, (...)

#agile + #scrumban For Better Productivity: How to Create a Hybrid Software Development Process

Image credit: UnsplashOne of the most recent trends in software development is combining Agile methodologies to get a unique, hybrid approach that helps an organization to achieve better results. We at 1Ci have our very own combination of Agile and Scrumban. Let’s talk about how to build such a tool, and what to expect as a result.Agile as a foundationThe principles of this methodology can be found at agilemanifesto.org. Commonly, Agile introduces 4 values and 12 principles. However, different Agile approaches can go back and forth from points in the Manifesto, and this is allowed by the document. The “Agile Manifesto” describes common goals for businesses, including embracing individual’s values and interactions over processes and tools (software > documentation, value for customer > (...)

Running #kanban like it’s 1984This is the third post in the series “Theory of Constraints in software startups.” If you haven’t read the other two. I recommend starting with those: part 1, part 2.Everything was better in the 80s, so let’s go back in time for a minute. Imagine you are a worker on a plant. The plant is supplying parts to Toyota factories, where they assemble the gorgeous Corolla AE86.“Factory worker on roller skates” by Cristina AmateYour shift starts at 7 am. You come to the plant 10 minutes before, change and go to the Kanban storage area. There on your shelf you find one card with the name and the number of the part you will make.Kanban cardOnce the part is done, you put it on the designated shelf and go back to the Kanban storage area. This time there are no cards on your shelf. (...)

I’ve been reading quite a bit of material produced by the #agile community of late. I’ve looked into engineering practices and culture. I’ve observed agile metrics and product identification. I’ve even stumbled into the realm of marketing and team building. In all of this, I’ve seen the same old trope wheeled out — “Scrum isn’t appropriate for the modern age”. Then, what follows is what I can only describe as the ultimate straw man convention. Arguments so fragile, I could write an application in VB.net and brute force them into submission. With that in mind, I thought I’d address some of the common critiques that I bump into regularly.Scrum is old nowI’m endlessly confused by people who equate an idea being old with it being ineffective. People just say “Scrum isn’t relevant any more” and leave it (...)

A Scrum board suggesting to use #kanban (Wikipedia)Scrum is 17 years old, despite that it still stays one of the most popular #agile framework. But popularity does not mean that it works for everyone. So if you notice one or more of the signs below, probably you should reconsider your workflow.Popularity does not mean that it works for everyone1. You think developers are the main source of innovationsScrum is based on the strict process. And it also very heavy in terms of management. Usually, a team must have Product Owners, Scrum Master and TeamLead. In such borders, Scrum disallows developers to make any product decisions and most of the time treat them as code slappers.2. You hate Scrum meetingsDon’t get me wrong. Meetings are essential to the development process. But these meetings (...)

Framaboard : les libristes ont réinventé le tableau blanc… mais en mieux ! | Framablog
▻http://framablog.org/2015/10/07/framaboard-les-libristes-ont-reinvente-le-tableau-blanc-mais-en-mieux

Nous aimons les beaux outils qui permettent de s’organiser pour collaborer… mais trop souvent, ce sont des services qui en profitent pour en apprendre beaucoup sur nous. Beaucoup plus en tout cas que ce que nous voudrions leur confier ! Voici un nouvel exemple d’alternative libre qui vous permettra de maîtriser vos projets sans êtres pistés.

Etudiants, organisez votre travail avec le #kanban personnel #Trello «

Se voir progresser dans son #travail est très important. Mais plus important encore peut-être : limiter la quantité de travail en cours. Commencer moins de choses vous permettra d’en terminer davantage.

Comme dit l’adage : terminez de commencer et commencer à terminer ! Un tableau de kanban personnel idéal ressemble à celui ci-dessus : pas mal de choses à faire, deux ou trois choses en cours sur la journée et des choses terminées. Il est important de ne pas archiver tout de suite les choses terminées : cela fait du bien de « voir » qu’on a réalisé pas mal de choses sur la semaine.

Vous savez s’il est possible de brancher un outil de #kanban comme #trello/#huboard/#waffle ou autre alternative libre sur une instance de #gitlab ?

#CKAN est le logiciel utilisé par quasiment toutes les grandes plateformes opendata :

Ils utilisaient déjà #github pour leur système de tickets sur le code, il l’utilisent maintenant aussi pour la roadmap (les idées d’évolution), au lieu de #trello qui est un « Kanban Board ».

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Simple-kanban-board-.jpg/800px-Simple-kanban-board-.jpg

En effet, il existe plusieurs alternatives à Trello « branchables » sur les tickets de github (#huboard, #waffle) ce qui permet d’avoir deux outils pour le prix d’un.

Est-il possible de se passer de #github pour gérer les tickets d’un projet libre ? Certainement que oui, mais ça devient l’exception.

Mais n’est-ce pas imprudent pour la « communauté » libre de confier toutes ces informations à un seul silo ? Pas de risque pour le code, git est décentralisé, mais pour les issues, rien de tel.
