Is Kanban really helpful in Project Management?

IS KANBAN REALLY HELPFUL IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT_2

IT projects are by definition complex, and being an IT project manager (PM) is a multifaceted and advanced role to fill. You manage teams, budgets, contracts, plans, and the risks that may hit you. You must keep your managers and stakeholders satisfied, and you likely manage sub-contractors as well.

To structure these diverse tasks, most companies have implemented a PM method (PMM) of some sort. Many are inspired by PMI, PRINCE2, IPMA, and others. But why do we still see so many projects failing? For the past 10 years, PMI has issued its annual “Pulse of the Profession” report, which typically shows that only around half of the projects we start are completed within time and budget.

Kanban, an agile method that is rising in popularity, and which addresses the complexities of IT projects in a unique, visual way. Elements that influence the success or failure of Agile projects include:

 

  • Company maturity and level of agile understanding
  • Team maturity and competencies
  • Allocation of team members to multiple projects
  • Effective product ownership
  • Acceptance of transparency and visualization

How Kanban makes the lives of project managers easier

 

In a Kanban process, there are physical (or virtual) “cards” called Kanban that move through the process from start to finish. The aim is to keep a constant flow of Kanban so that as inventory is required at the end of the process, just that much is created at the start. In this article, we’ll take a look at 6 benefits of Kanban for your business.

 

  1. Visualize your work
  2. Limit work in progress
  3. Manage flow
  4. Make policies explicit
  5. Implement feedback loops
  6. Improve collaboratively, evolve experimentally

When used for software development, Kanban uses the stages in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to represent the different stages in the manufacturing process. The aim is to control and manage the flow of features (represented by Kanban cards) so that the number of features entering the process match those being completed. Kanban is an agile methodology that is not necessarily iterative. Kanban allows the software to be developed in one large development cycle. Despite this, Kanban is an example of an agile methodology because it fulfills all twelve of the principles behind the Agile manifesto, because whilst it is not iterative, it is incremental.

The principle behind Kanban that allows it to be incremental and Agile, is limited throughput. Each phase of the lifecycle is recognized as having a limited capacity for work at any one time. A small work item is created from the prioritized and unstarted requirements list and then begins the development process, usually with some requirements elaboration. A work item is not allowed to move on to the next phase until some capacity opens up ahead. By controlling the number of tasks active at any one time, developers still approach the overall project incrementally which gives the opportunity for Agile principles to be applied.
