Event Description

The Wordpress User Group of the western suburbs is having a meeting that includes a presentation on KANBAN.  KANBAN is a set of practices that pushes information out of a system to staff that can react quickly to a changing situation.  Other practices make this an effective method of keeping things on track that was popularized by the hyper-efficient Toyota Production System.

    Two Great Presentations

    Local developer Mike Toppa will deliver a short introduction toKanban. Kanban is a "lean" methodology for managing workflow. It can work for teams as well as individuals. Its focus is achieving "flow" - maximizing output by minimizing how many different things being worked on at once.
