People don’t have propensity to LAZINESS.
People have propensity for HARD WORK.
It just needs to be WORK THAT MATTERS TO THEM

Kanban Rules
v Visualize the workflow
v Split the work into pieces, write each item on a card and put on the
wall.
v Use named columns to illustrate where each item is in the workflow.
v Limit Work In Progress (WIP) – assign explicit limits to how many
items may be in progress at each workflow state.
v Measure the lead time (average time to complete one item, sometimes
called “cycle time”), optimize the process to make lead time as small and
predictable as possible.

demandmanagement
In Agile, we use LEAN techniques to understand the
demand workflow.
The demand flow is a simple process: demand meets
capacity and, according to the capacity, demand can be
treated more or less swiftly.
Agile Demand Management
37. Phase1
focus on the output
• delivering each time helps you to focus on what
matters and enables discussion between the
stakeholders
• delivering drives fear out!
37
38. Phase2
focus on input
• managed by a single person to insure
permanent flow
• empowers PO’s position
• strong stakeholder’s engagement
38
43. 43
Agile coaches and
scrum masters focus to
"toss" the container in
the sink (the work and
team members) during
the retrospective with
the aim to liquefying
the deposit as soon as
possible.

What’s work?
There are 3 types of generally accepted work:
• those that produce value (fruits)
• those used to produce value (roots)
• and routine (transactional) aka « business-as-
usual »
Fruits are the expected outcome of planting: CA, benefits, etc ...
"Robots" are the feed channels for the existence and growth of fruits.
Anything that is neither "fruit" nor "roots" are called Business-as-usual
(BAU).The BAU is time consuming and can not be totally eliminated.
But it can be controlled by treatment.

47. •Lean explains that you have to optimise the flow i.e. reducing the BAU, optimise
the « roots » so that each harvest produce the same « fruits ».
•Agile is more pragmatic. We consider that BAU cannot be eliminated but should be
under control.
•Scrum explain that you have to focus on business value i.e. increasing fruits
harvesting.
•Agile also explains that both development and production proceed in a sustainable
pace.

Usually performance indicators are on « BAU »:
• the process is defined until the end-of-times
• each input produces almost the same output
(defined process)
Working hypothesis have never been validated nor experienced.They
are mostly driven by annual budget
Here the organisation is disconnected from reality and objective is to
reinforce functional silos (keeping the organisation performance at the
lowest level).

Important are the results (fruits)
