What we’re about
This group is for everyone interested in Kanban, evolutionary change and/or agile management.
Kanban is an evolutionary approach to agility and a Change Management Method.
Kanban is highly adaptable to any kind of knowledge work and it is no framework. It is historically often used in IT-environments as a team approach for organising work, but in no ways limited to that - many knowledge workers are successfully using Kanban on different organisational levels and in various departments and industries.
The Limited-WiP-Society is the official community of the Kanban University founded by Kanban Inventor David J. Anderson, open for everyone who is interested, without any obligations. http://limitedwipsociety.ning.com/page/local-groups
Kanban is all about learning - and it is far more than moving yellow stickies on a board...

•OnlineOpportunity to Connect – Catch Up with the Community
OnlineUnfortunately, we had to postpone the NZ case study originally planned for November.
Plus, instead of our usual end-of-year Lean Coffee, I’d now love to invite you all to a relaxed catch-up. Grab a drink, come along, and let’s simply chat.
How was your year? What’s coming up next? Whether you’re unwinding, deflating, celebrating — or anything in between — bring it with you and reconnect with the community.
Looking forward to seeing whoever joins!
