Batteries Included Kanban: Defaults Over Decisions

Starting a Kanban team is empowering—but the freedom can feel overwhelming. Join us to explore how to cut through the complexity, launch quickly, and discover by doing.

Join us to learn from guest speaker Evan Stoner how to simplify the start of a new Kanban system by using a collection of opinionated defaults. We’ll explore the idea of “Convention over Configuration,” famous as the guiding principle that led to the success of Ruby on Rails. Discover how this powerful concept—and others—can reshape how we approach launching Kanban.
