Talk description
Title:
No More Heroes: One Team's Kanban Journey
Short synopsis:
This talk tells the tale of a single team that underwent a metamorphic change from being one the most widely-derided and disrespected teams in an organisation to an exemplar of maturity and customer service. Despite frequent acts of heroism, our protagonists frequently find themselves in the firing line for failing to deliver on promises. Facing a changing organisational environment with increased pressure to deliver change faster and more reliably, the team turns to Kanban for their salvation.

Long synopsis (optional):
This talk will focus largely on how a platform and tools team in a FTSE 100 company went from being largely disrespected and the butt of many jokes to being a successful team driven by customer service. This talk contains descriptions of some of the wrong turns taken and opportunities missed during the team's Kanban adoption, as well as things that went well, so it isn't overly rose-tinted, which I hope will resonate with attendees. The talk will cover the STATIK method, exploration of personal, and work flow WIP limits; discovery of services and work items offered by the team, plus how the identification of the team's vision, values and principles helped the team to understand the direction it needed to travel.
