Kanban Fundamentals: Boosting Developer Productivity



Scrum already has a daily meeting to take care of the flow. However, the approach of a daily Kanban meeting is quite different from Scrum’s.

In Kanban, we read the board from right to left, and we only focus on those items which are at risk or are blocked. We also discuss ways in which we can reduce queues or fix bottlenecks.
After reading the board, some team members might dedicate some time to discussing some of the items in detail.

In addition to the daily Kanban meeting, which helps to solve immediate problems with the flow, there is also the Team Performance Meeting, where you can use two techniques to improve the flow of value in the long term by introducing changes in your Kanban system design:
* **Blocker analysis**
* **Outlier analysis**


Understand how you can improve the flow of value and why we should make policies explicit.
