Kanban 2 January 3rd 2018
On January 3rd, the TalentMAP team met to perform a retrospective based on the temporarily adopted Kanban style. Kanban style was adopted due to the sporadic team availability over the holidays (Roughly from Nov 15th – Jan 3rd). Kanban differs from our current approach in that, rather than rigid sets of tasks for a sprint, the technical team would pull items from the backlog as they complete tasks. These are generally pulled off the backlog in priority order, unless there is a blocker or other exception. This is an efficient method to take care of a lot of low level of effort tasks (such as technical debt or small bugs) as well as tasks the require a lot of co-ordination between frontend and backend. New stories can be added to the backlog and prioritized at any time, meaning backlog grooming becomes a pseudo-sprint planning. (Although the product team should feel free to add/groom/prioritize at any time)
By temporarily switching to this methodology for the holiday season, we would remove procedural blockers for the technical team and allow for a higher throughput with the fragmented working times. We would keep the daily status calls, but would shift to a mid- and post- season demo of new functionality.
