Improve IT Operations Agility and Efficiency with Kanban

Like a manufacturing production line, IT operations require continuously improving projects and processes to be successful. This research explains how the kanban technique, which grew from manufacturing origins, can help I&O leaders make their organizations more efficient and effective. I&O Leaders focused on enabling the bimodal enterprise with DevOps practices should: Enable their team to learn kanban by selecting a comparatively simple job and building a basic kanban board. Increase throughput and overcome constraints by establishing a full kanban board and including work in progress (WIP) limits for each task to prevent bottlenecks. Manage proactive and reactive work by including "swim lanes" on the kanban board that clearly define emergency, urgent and nonurgent or project categories. Track the progress of workflows for teams that are geographically distributed and for which a kanban board is not practical by using kanban software tools to create the board and facilitate remote collaboration.
