What I Liked The Most
⦁ The highly operational approach illustrated by lived situations, making lean, kanban, and agile concepts and principles accessible
⦁ Techniques that can easily be experimented with in order to make quick gains by bringing clarity and visibility (reduce overload, increase focus on what matters most, prevent constant interruptions…)
⦁ Scientific thinking to improve the work by small experiments and empirical observations
⦁ “Many of the problems related to time thievery have to do with organizational problems or company culture”
What Important Lessons I Learned
⦁ How to recognize the five time-thieves: Too much WIP, unknown dependencies, unplanned work, conflicting priorities, and neglected work
⦁ “When everything is a priority one, nothing is a priority one”,
⦁ “Lack of visible data in IT makes us blind”
⦁ “When it comes to efficiency, time is wasted when there is too much focus on resource efficiency over flow-efficiency”
⦁ How to better manage my time using Pomodoro and facilitate Lean Coffee meetings
