Innovator Workshop RULES: Power Kanban & Agile Rolling Wave: Next generation Agile Techniques Improving information.
Although agile is considered a ‘modern’ technique, it is reaching its thirtieth anniversary soon after the inception of SCRUM in 1993 and its formal introduction in 1997. The good news is that several next-generation agile techniques have evolved to help increase information awareness and availability, enhancing the chances of achieving project success by reducing uncertainty.
This session will present two next-generation agile techniques and their practical and theoretical foundation: Power Kanban and Agile Rolling Wave Planning. Power Kanban is based on the works of Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons and their experiments on information awareness, leading to the book ‘The Invisible Gorilla.’ Agile Rolling Wave Planning is Power Kanban’s logical counterpart; the gathered information is used in a multi-min, multi-horizon, iterative, and incremental planning method.
When used in unison, these techniques reduce information and provide proactivity, thus enhancing the chances of project success.
Learning goals summary:
• The ability to create a meta-data model of relevant project information participants should be aware of, such as decisions, prerequisites, deliverables, risks, and problems.
• Spot, identify, categorize, log, and disseminate essential project information using Kanban boards such as JIRA across project/SCRUM teams or projects in a program.
• Create a multi-level and varied horizon incremental and iterative plan for a project.
