Top posts of 2011:
- Kanban prioritisation and scheduling with classes of service – inspired by the Kanban Leadership Workshop, the beginnings of my October conference talk, and now folded back into DJA&A training material
- Kanban in its portfolio context (idea for LESS 2011) – some thoughts on applying Lean and Kanban principles and practices to portfolio management. There was a lot of interest in this topic in my London class and it remains an area of active research.
- “Influencer”, or Kanban and models for change
- Intangibles, value and risk (or: Portfolio thinking)
