This means that all members of the team are better placed to decide what needs to happen next and further more encourages the whole team to contribute to process improvement. Thank you for the feedback, hope to catch you next time you're in London. Neil Hi David,

Not only does limiting prompt me, as a manager, to have conversations, it prompts discussion within the team. This means that all members of the team are better placed to decide what needs to happen next and further more encourages the whole team to contribute to process improvement.

Thank you for the feedback, hope to catch you next time you’re in London.

Neil

I particularly like this sentence, "The migration has brought about subtle but positive changes to how we work, largely due to the fact that by explicitly limiting the amount of current work it forces conversations to be had where we are close to violating the limits." These words could have come out of my mouth at one of the many Kanban Coaching Workshops I've been running around the world. They explain why limiting work-in-progress with a kanban system has such a high leverage for positive change to a leaner way of working. Best wishes, David Thanks for sharing this, I love your insights and how you applied Kanban to solve specific problems.
