OpenKanban! - What I learned about Kanban on a hike on the Camino de Santiago

HOLIDAYS are around the corner !!
Because of that we are doing a warmup by inviting Markus Wissekal to explain Kanban through his hiking experiences.
Nice and refreshing !!

Kanban’s core practices together with its principles and values make it the most effective method for evolutionary change. Have you ever applied them outside of their business context? Hiking 400 Km across Spain, I had more than enough opportunity for measuring and adapting my continuous improvement.

Every journey begins with a single step. Walking the Camino de Santiago for two weeks took me 586,444. In this very personal talk I will share what I’ve learned about the practices of Kanban after applying them to learn about myself and making changes along the way.
