Kanban Principles

Core Practices

Visualize the workflow - Make work visible
Limit WIP - Focus on finishing, not starting
Manage flow - Optimize throughput
Make policies explicit - Clear rules for moving work
Implement feedback loops - Regular reviews
Improve collaboratively - Continuous improvement

WIP Limits

## WIP Limit Guidelines

| Backlog 
| ∞ 
| Unlimited ideas storage 

| To Do 
| 10 
| Committed work for near-term 

| In Progress 
| 5 
| Active development capacity 

| Review 
| 3 
| Prevent review bottleneck 

| Done 
| ∞ 
| Completed work archive 

### Setting WIP Limits

- Start with team size × 1.5

- Adjust based on flow metrics

- Too high = loss of focus

- Too low = idle time

Flow Metrics

Lead Time vs Cycle Time

◄───────────────────────────────────────────►

│    ◄─────────────────────►                │
│    │                     │                │

└────────────┘   └──────────┘   └──────────┘   └──────────┘

Lead Time: Time from request to delivery
Cycle Time: Time from start to completion

Throughput Calculation

# Throughput: Items completed per time period

def calculate_throughput(completed_items: list, period_days: int) -> float:
items_completed = len(completed_items)
throughput = items_completed / period_days
return throughput

# Example

completed_this_week = 15
throughput = completed_this_week / 7  # 2.14 items per day

Card Structure

## Kanban Card Template

### Title

[Clear, concise description]

### Type

[ ] Feature  [ ] Bug  [ ] Tech Debt  [ ] Support

### Details

- **Requester:** [Name]

- **Priority:** [High/Medium/Low]

- **Size:** [S/M/L/XL]

- **Due Date:** [If applicable]

### Description

[What needs to be done]

### Acceptance Criteria

 Criterion 1
 Criterion 2

### Blockers

[Any dependencies or impediments]

### Class of Service

[ ] Expedite (Urgent, bypass WIP)
[ ] Fixed Date (External deadline)
[ ] Standard (Normal flow)
[ ] Intangible (Low priority)

Service Level Expectations

## SLE by Card Type

| Expedite 
| 1 day 
| 95% 

| Bug Fix 
| 3 days 
| 90% 

| Feature 
| 2 weeks 
| 85% 

| Tech Debt 
| 1 month 
| 80% 

| ``` 
|  
|

## Kanban Meetings

### Daily Standup (Walking the Board)

- Start from right (Done) to left (Backlog)

- Focus on blocked items

- Identify bottlenecks

- 15 minutes max

### Replenishment Meeting (Weekly)

- Review backlog

- Prioritize incoming work

- Pull items to "To Do"

- Discuss capacity

### Delivery Planning (Bi-weekly)

- Review completed items

- Update forecasts

- Communicate delivery dates

## Golden Armada Kanban Commands

```bash

# View board status

/kanban-status --board golden-armada

# Add item to backlog

/kanban-add --title "Feature X" --type feature --size M

# Move item

/kanban-move GA-123 --to "In Progress"

# Generate metrics report

/kanban-metrics --period 30d
