This module will cover the fundamentals of Kanban and how to improve our Scrum practice, along with the process of designing a Kanban system.

Software Development Methodologies

This module will introduce us to Kanban fundamentals. We will begin by studying the origins of Kanban as a method for designing and improving work knowledge. Later in the module, we will learn the core practices of Kanban for designing a Kanban system at the team level successfully. Then, we will learn how to use Kanban to improve our Scrum practice. By the end of the module, we'll be able to design a Kanban system.

Kanban Fundamentals: Boosting Developers Productivity

## Kanban System Design

>Kanban System Design is the systems thinking approach for collaboratively designing a Kanban System that best captures your current way of working and provides you with the initial set of tools, metrics, and controls to start your continuous improvement process as well as to improve service delivery agility in a very short time.

Kanban System Design is based on the STATIK method (which was devised by David J. Anderson) for introducing Kanban into teams and organizations.

## Designing a Kanban system

Now that you are familiar with the basics of flow and Kanban systems, you are ready to design your own Kanban system.

The process has the following ten steps:
1. **Select a service.**
2. **Define service’s mission.**
3. **Analyze sources of dissatisfaction.**
4. **Discover what the service does.**
5. **Identify work types.**
6. **Define visualization policies.**
7. **Create and populate the board.**
8. **Define way-of-working policies.**
9. **Define WIP policies.**
10. **Define meeting policies.**
