Welcome To The Limited WIP Society

The Limited WIP Society is the home of the global community embracing Kanban for software development.  "Limited WIP" refers to limiting the amount of work in progress -- a core practice in lean pull systems such as kanban.


This is where our community can share the resources that have been most useful, stay connected with other practitioners worldwide, and stay informed about community events.

The Limited WIP Society is sponsored by the Lean Software and Systems Consortium, a non-profit industry organization.

When I iterate 

Managers be sayin, “Damn, that’s great!”

Ahhhh – Girl look at that whiteboard 

Ahhhh – Girl look at that whiteboard 

Ahhhh – I burn down

Ahhhh –…

For our case study, let’s look at roller coaster ride. But, first, a key to get our parallels drawn……

Re Organization and Kanban

Posted by Ashish Pathak on April 21, 2012 at 7:15pm 0 Comments

We have just had a huge re-organization in our company just last week!

People have been anxious and anxiety levels have been high all last month - at all levels.

I was part of the PMO team, that looked into a suite of products spread over 3 geographies (and time zones).

We like(d) to believe that we were following Scrum as the methodology to execute and orchestrate this complex Suite Release. But the fact is that we have changed the dates of the release at least 4 times…

Culture busting: quality & speed, not quality vs speed!

Posted by Julia Wester on March 24, 2012 at 7:55pm 0 Comments

One of the reasons many groups implement Kanban is to figure out how to deliver more consistently. Kanban, as well as many other methods/processes, is often chosen and implemented by the management or leadership layer and the values and goals are communicated down to developers or other individual contributors.

Part of the discussion between management and developers will focus on then end goal of streamlining cycle times as much as possible in order to deliver more consistently. This…
