Personal Kanban

I know I promised you guys an article on Control Charts but I have had a bunch of people ask me about my use of Personal Kanban over the last few weeks so I thought I'd take a break from agile metrics and talk about that instead. Fear not though, definitely control charts next time.

One of the questions I get asked a lot as an agile coach is whether agile applies to non-IT projects. I will explain that yes, agile works really well with non-IT and at this point I usually mention that I use Kanban at home for my things to do around the house. At this point people tend to look at me strangely. Then I mention that we have a Kanban board in the kitchen for the kids to do their chores on, and my son has a Kanban board in his bedroom to do his homework on. This usually makes people start to back away slowly. I thought I'd take a few minutes and explain how it works.
