Kanban at Scale: Using Microsoft Azure DevOps
About the Presentation
Do you need to optimize the workflow for your Agile team? Do you need to report progress to a Program or Portfolio Manager? If yes, this session is for you.
Microsoft Azure DevOps (ADO) has built-in Kanban boards. Kanban is a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process. It visualizes both the workflow to identify and fix potential bottlenecks. The purpose is to have a cost-effective workflow and optimal speed.
The trick is knowing how to roll up from a Sprint Board tracking tasks to see the flow of stories and enablers from the Teams Backlog, up to Features for the program managers, and finally to Epics at the portfolio level. Then, to automate a dashboard based on the flow of work on the board. This dynamic session, facilitated by Keith Wilson, will explain Kanban values and principle hands-on demonstration in ADO how to:
- Configure board columns/swim lanes & develop team boards
- Create styles & kanban at scale
- Create & run queries, and add queries to the dashboard widgets
- Configure widgets & create the dashboard
- Link Kanban board swim lanes to widgets
Key Takeaways
- Understand the difference between leading people, leading outcomes, and leading moments.
- The role of the retrospective and how the fighter pilot debrief delivers powerful outcomes.
- How to get ahead of Agile, to anticipate rather than react.
