The order typically runs with not just milk but all the supplies. It's just the "going out of milk" trigger happens most frequently. And yes, using different kinds/colors of cards for different kinds of milk might have b

Wow! This escalated quickly. In this whole sub-thread, I see quite a lot of signals along the lines of: - that's someone else's job, I shouldn't be bothered - I'm doing valuable work, others should make it easy for me -

There is a level of oversimplification beyond which the solution stops serving its purpose. If this discussion board was just a shared doc in which everyone could write, that might be a "too simple" solution. Basic control over on

That's a great analogy! On the one hand, the context is different. An affordance, as you point out, signals how we should use an item. In a way, it suggests a meaning. A kanban's meaning is typically defined as the process (larg

"The Phoenix Project" is basically "The Goal" rewritten in the context of software projects so that people would pick up the ideas easier instead of dismissing them as the "unrelated context." The authors never

That is an interesting observation. The first two (and I would say key) practices of Kanban (as a method) are: - visualize work(flow) - limit work in progress So I wonder, how did these Kanban teams visualize work exactly? Now, I don't

That's true. The notion of what Kanban is differs between knowledge work (stemming mostly from software development adaptations) and manufacturing. Since my context is primarily IT I made some simplifications when describing the contex
