Development logo
Goal: Development
- Develop software to support ‘large environments’ (>15.000 employees).
Problems
- Project going on now for three years
- Hire people from other departments and externally
- Reliability
- Delivery dates are based on ‘wishes’ instead of actual estimates
- Estimates are not reliable
- Projectmanagement - No subproject is finished because of changing
priorities
- No focus on finishing - subprojects and even tasks
- Teamspirit low
- Team lead determines what happens when
- Employees are unsure about what they are building – no big picture
- Because the project was not finished on time there was a penalty

Maintenance
Goal
- Management: solve all problems
- Employees: solve problems that really need solving NOW
Problems
- Huge backlog of Must issues 480 issues (output 10 per week)
- No time for analysis of ‘weird’ issues
- Must/Should/Could ‘Never’ folder / High prio should
- Role team lead does the intake of new issues and assigns
tasks to team members
- Specialists - What the issue is about determines who will do it
- Many escalations
- Natural variation in intake is invisible because the highs fill up the
lows
- No focus on effort, only on number of issues

Optimize our process logo
All steps required to make a good end product move them to the
main process (remove batching: 2nd review/code inspection,
integrations)
One process for all developments
Focus on estimated delivery date
Drastically reduce time spent in meetings (for a while)
Brake down the project in as small as possible subprojects and
cards

Buffermanagement
Why does it work?
▪ In all project stages visible how much buffer is consumed
▪ Easy to define priorities or to discuss objectively
▪ Whole team knows of the buffer status and how an issue influences the project
▪ Less WiP more focus on finishing
