Workflow
A workflow is a sequence of
steps and activities of work
performed by a person or a team
to achieve a specific goal.
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage
N
Final
Goal
(Done)
Workflow examples
Visible workflow
We have been using
Card Walls for a long time…
The workflow stages

“these card walls are not inherently
kanban systems. They are merely
visual control systems. They allow
teams to visually observe work-in-
progress and to self-organize, assign
their own tasks, and move work
from a backlog to complete”
David has a point…

Don’t limit yourself
Replenishment
Replenishment is driven by actual
consumption, not sales forecasts
I have seen this before…

Target instead of Limit
“Yet another choice would be to
… adopt a policy of exceeding
the WIP limit when a burst of
production text changes arrives...
This was the choice made in the
real example ...”
Should we accept variance?

“For example, if we had ten
people and anticipated two
people per item, the WIP limit
might be five plus a few more to
smooth the impact of a
blockage. Perhaps eight (five plus
three) would be the right limit in
such circumstances.”
… so we are already dealing with
variance for upper limit…
… but, what about
a variance for less?
(to avoid starvation)
