What I Do
I provide expertise in Kanban, a visual workflow management system that originated from Toyota's manufacturing processes and has been adapted for software development. Kanban focuses on visualizing work, limiting work-in-progress (WIP), and maximizing flow efficiency to deliver value continuously. Unlike Scrum's time-boxed iterations, Kanban allows work items to flow through the system as soon as capacity is available, making it ideal for operations teams, support teams, and development teams with continuous delivery pipelines or unpredictable incoming work.
When to Use Me
Use Kanban when you have continuous flow of work items (bug fixes, support tickets, deployments), need to optimize existing processes without disrupting team structure, want to reduce cycle time and lead time, or work in operations, SRE, or customer support roles. Kanban excels when work arrives unpredictably and cannot be batched into sprints. It complements Scrum well (Scrumban) for teams that want Scrum's structure with Kanban's flexibility. Avoid Kanban when your team needs the discipline of fixed iterations or when ceremonies like sprint planning provide necessary structure.
