Hi Alex, thanks a lot for praise, but please wait until you’ve eaten the “dogfood” I served

Two remarks:

As I pointed out today, this is not really Kanban but augmenting a Kanban core process with planning ideas from Scrum and XP, because that fits your business needs here.

A more “Kanbanish” approach to calculate how much you can accomplish per time is to transform Little’s Law of Queueing Theory, which states:

Total Cycle Time = Number of Things in Progress / Average Completion Rate

to:

Average Completion Rate = Number of Things in Progress / Total Cycle Time

It should lead to the same result as counting for a week but is more robust against features that cross the week boundary.

I had a really good time with you today too, thank you for inviting me to your interesting team!
