    Manufacturing vs Software Development

    by Udayan Banerjee

    Does practices which are successful in manufacturing work well in software development? To be it appears to be an attempt to plug a square peg in a round hole.

    I think it would be unfair to characterize what Karl was talking about as "manufacturing practices". The presentation was more about systems thinking and flow.

    Having said that, using a Kanban system to manage work in terms of process steps adds less value when the development organization embraces collocated, cross-functional teams that move the product forward together:

    From my POV kanban in software development is about the concepts behind kanban and lean thinking and how to apply workflow visualization, limited WIP and pull to software development.

    A nice presentation

    This is a very nice presentation, it tells more about the stuff behind Kanban rather than Kanban itself. There are lots of information to absorb: system thinking, peter senge's 5th discipline, the golden circle, pull vs. push, flow zone, double-loop learning, etc. I hope it would be better to explain Kanban from the perspective of Theory of constraints, I believe the TOC mindset is also a part of system thinking.
