The Kanban Practice That Equips Teams For Self-Management
- The Kanban Method is a management method made up of principles and practices to be applied to whatever process is in place (which could be Scrum).
- One of the practices is to make policies explicit.
- Explicit policies can be used to define the boundaries within which teams can work and the level of empowerment they have.
- Team members look to the policies instead of referring to a manager, while managers begin to trust teams to self-manage because they trust the system as described by the policies.
- Having explicit policies in place lays the foundation for improvement.
- The Kanban Method only guides teams and organisations to make policies explicit, but it does not prescribe what they should be. It’s up to the team and the organisation to define and evolve their policies in their context.
- Scrum already comes with some policies that are already made explicit.
- Policies should remain dynamic as circumstances change.
- Making policies explicit is a simple but powerful practice, but some teams struggle to get started.
- By exploring this practice teams and organisations can equip their teams for greater levels of self-management.
