Making sense of agility, scaling, OKRs, product operating models, and leadership — written from 15+ years in the field.
Fractal/large-scale Kanban talk from LKCE 2011 — how to scale Kanban across multiple teams using fractal patterns while preserving local flow and visibility.
Read more →A direct take on why treating sprint plans as binding commitments undermines trust, velocity, and team health — and what a healthier relationship between planning and accountability looks like.
Read more →How Kanban and Theory of Constraints Critical Chain overlap and complement each other — both address bottlenecks and WIP, but from different angles. A practitioner comparison.
Read more →How do you scale Kanban beyond a single team? A practical look at fractal flow patterns, explicit policies, and what changes at the portfolio level.
Read more →Revisiting my 2011 Lean Kanban Benelux talk on commitments, flow energy, routing, and predictability, with practical guidance for today's product and portfolio environments.
Read more →How flow-based approaches reduce testing bottlenecks and stabilization costs, and why the same constraint-thinking now matters as AI coding shifts the bottleneck from testing working software to validating real value.
