  2. Conversation around • Process Management • Lean, Pull Planning, Agile • When to use what

  3. Hands up, if you have ever used • Lean • Pull Planning • Agile

  4. Continuous Improvement

  5. Lessons from Business Process Redesign • All work is process work • A process may be implicit, or explicit • Explicit processes allow us to: • Repeat the work consistently over time • Teach it to others • Measure the results of it • Improve it

  6. Explicit processes for improvement • Lean • Pull Planning • Agile

  7. Lean • Make use of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) • These provide a standard for the process • In order to identify a gap between goal and performance • A root cause analysis (5x Why) helps to identify waste • So teams can eliminate it • PDCA

  8. Pull Planning • Make work explicit and reduce lead time and waste in projects: • Buffers of non value adding waiting times • Waiting • Handovers • Inventory

  9. Pull Planning (cont) • Sometimes leads to an increase of: • Overprocessing (on planning time) • Overproduction (of documentation) • Rework (as schedules had to be adjusted, promises were still not kept, trades would not understand requirements and schedules from others, projects were not delivered as promised). • Talent (as team members were constantly chasing eachother)

  10. Agile Values • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools • Delivering a good end product over documentation • Collaboration over contract negotiation • Embracing change over sticking to the plan • And provides simple frameworks for delivering the work
