Kanban development oversimplified: a simple explanation of how Kanban adds to the ever-growing Agile toolkit.
Agile development is a value system — not a process.

And here are the notes from the talk that unfortunately got lost on slideshare (no idea how that happened…): Sketchnotes / Visual Note taking What is it?
Note taking is about capturing a line of thoughts (from a talk, a video, a book or your own head) to be able to go back to it later and remember the points that are interesting to you. And instead of capturing in pages and pages of written word, sketchnotes are a visual style of note taking that allows for all kinds of visual expression to create richer and more engaging notes.

But this rarely happens. Every meeting is an opportunity. In reality, kickoff meetings range from somewhat boring to straight-up awkward, and can be an expensive reiteration of project details we already know, assembling the most expensive, busiest people and generating little measurable project benefit.

But pretending they don’t exist won’t get us anywhere.
Here’s a guide to diagnosing and treating what I’ve found to be four of the most common barriers to completion: 1.
