Kanban models


Looking for a Kanban model for your WIP -- work in process?

How about the simplest? DO -- DOING -- DONE?


Kanban
What it’s about
To Do
All the backlog from customer; all the project debris, all the technical debt
Doing
Everything started but not finished
Done
All done, except some debt might have been referred to TO DO

Too simple?
 Here's the one I like the best because it's ubiquitous and can be applied really anywhere:



Kanban
What it’s about
To Do
All the backlog from customer; all the project debris, all the technical debt
Narrative, design, outline
The epoch story; the overall architecture; the outline of the deliverable(s)
Construction
All the building and assembly of units
Integrate & test
Tie the units together and see if they work
Validate and Verify
Everything accounted for?  Ooops, left one out; back to construction
DONE
All done, except some debt might have been referred to TO DO

Got one you like? Use it!
