You know how when you go to conferences and the best parts are the impromptu conversations in the halls? This is where real knowledge creation happens. Practitioners, experts, theorists and the uninitiated get together to discuss the real issues that are plaguing software development. At LSSC12, we've dedicated a full day to bringing everyone together to create new ideas and flesh out old ones. Come to Lean Camp on Sunday and join over 100 other thinkers and doers.
Lean Camp is a time for serious, dedicated Open Space. It's about learning, creating, and building value by discussing Lean Principles, Deming, real-world stories, and the impacts of collaboration and respect in the workplace. Kanban, Personal Kanban, Agile, Six Sigma, 5s, is all on the table...but so is the root of all these forms...Continuous Improvement.
Join practitioners, thinkers, and luminaries from the kanban community to create, discuss and really go deep on the issues important to us.
Early registration will be available for attendees arriving early. Registration will be open from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
It may sound a bit over the top, but the Action Kitchen is a demonstration and teaching kitchen attached to the hotel for LSSC12.
Jim Benson will demonstrate lean concepts and teach some cooking basics in the ACTION KITCHEN. Want to know about cooking kanban? About the difference between standard work and innovation? About continuous improvement? About how to cook well in the Internet age? Sign up for Jim's entertaining take on lean cuisine. Event Tickets are available for purchase. Space is limited.
Network and mingle with the attendees and speakers of the conference! The LSSC12 Welcome Reception is open to all attendees. Event is included with cost of registration. Additional tickets for guests are available for purchase during registration.
It's 5 years since David Anderson and Rick Garber first presented the Kanban Method to a limited audience at small conference in Chicago.
Today Kanban has a thriving global community, has spread to use as a personal productivity tool, as Personal Kanban, and has grown up and evolved for use managing programs and project portfolios. An entire market has emerged filled with vendors offering software to track work, projects, personal tasks and programs. Online games, simulations and board games have appeared. Lean & Kanban conferences take place around the world and informal meetup groups such as Lean Coffee and Limited WIP Society have sprung up around the world. This session will give the community an opportunity for reflection on how far we've come in 5 years and some insights into what's next for Kanban.
