Session
How to Improve your Agile Way of Working
Overview
The talk is a case study of a Scrum team which uses Kanban practices and the Kanban Maturity Model and how the implementation of Improvement Kata enables the team to deliver more effectively. The talk focuses on how a blend of different models, frameworks and techniques help to meet the customer requirements in a more effective manner. The focus is on how Improvement Katas (modelled on the Toyota Kata techniques) can be used in a Scrum team which also uses Kanban practices and follows the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM).
