Reactions to your Personal Kanban

[Jim Benson]

Welcome to all the new members in the group over the last few weeks!

Tonianne and I have been heads-down finishing the Personal Kanban book
(almost there).

But we are wondering:

We see some pretty ecstatic reactions when people see our Personal
Kanbans in action.

What reactions have you all seen?

I have a couple of colleges I will like to introduce personal kanban to, but they don't know about kanban so I try to sell it without mentioning kanban. For personal use I think it scares some people and sounds complicated even if that isn't the case.

I really think they will learn something from it so I hope i can sell it :)

I did an open space talk on personal kanban earlier this year at an
agile software conference and ever since, I can't attend a tech
conference without someone asking me to do an open space on personal
kanban. At the OpenAgile a few months ago, more than half of everyone
at the conference was at my open space talk. Personal kanban is
exciting and liberating when seen for the first time.

Paul,

I have found this too.

This year, every talk I have given on Personal Kanban has been to a packed room. My talks at Oredev in Sweden had over 500 attendees.

What I've appreciated most is that Personal Kanban has been taken by people and immediately customized. No one seems afraid of making mistakes, but are all quite excited to experiment and find what works for them.

Last week, Tonianne and I went to a client engagement where people kept pulling us aside to talk about their Personal Kanban, how they were using it with their kids, and what a difference visualization has meant to their work lives.

And that ... is a good feeling.

Jim
