Back from the Lean Kanban Conference

I'm back and planning on posting to my blog more. I've been posting on Twitter (http://twitter.com/jheintz) fairly regularly now. Some stuff just doesn't fit within 140 characters...

The Lean and Kanban conference was awesome: both humbling and inspiring. My trip report will show up on The Agile Executive blog (http://theagileexecutive.com/) soon... I'll post a direct link.

Below is a summary of my twitter activity, just to get warmed up.

1. @TheOtherAlistai @RonJeffries Iteration is like metronome, Kanban is like multiple rhythms, from #lk2009 (must find who said that...)2:42 PM May 9th from Tweetie

4. @agile_exec Picked up a Lean Kanban Conference preceesings book for Israel... Who really should have been here! #lk20091:10 PM May 8th from Tweetie
5. @alshalloway great conversation about how/why Kanban removes fear/impedemnts to individual learning, must blog! #lk200912:37 PM May 8th from Tweetie
6. @agilemanager why is introducing Kanban easier than Scrum? I'm suggesting Kanban provides concrete reflection tools, lowers barrier #lk20098:36 AM May 8th from Tweetie in reply to agilemanager
7. Err, I meant tuning WIP and workflow is easy for people that wouldn't normally contribute to retrospective #lk20098:26 AM May 8th from Tweetie
8. Tuning WIP limits and workflow on the board is low resistance, even fir people that normally would say a think in a retrospective #lk20098:24 AM May 8th from Tweetie
9. I said concrete introspection is maybe the reason kanban is different. Just telling people to reflect doesn't just work. #lk20098:22 AM May 8th from Tweetie
10. I said concrete introspection, I mean that most people won't retrospect. Getting more people thinking in the biz is the real win. (hypothes)8:21 AM May 8th from Tweetie
11. Laribee just compared Kanban boards to the RESTful web metaphor... #lk20094:40 PM May 7th from Tweetie
