-...Re: Kanban cards expressing value and not tasks<br /><br />----<br /><br />I totally agree. The problem is that initially people view work in terms of tasks first and value second. With the personal kanban series I'm noticing that if I start people off with tasks in their kanban, they naturally gravitate towards discussing value.<br /><br />But ... there are lots of crummy things individuals "have" to do each day that they write off as soon as they're done. I want people to see those tasks in their personal kanban. I want them to know what they did specifically so they can kill off the wasteful ones.<br /><br />Your post is awesome, btw.

I use bugzilla with dependency tracking (this task depends on that task, etc)<br />then I can see a diagram rendered in graphviz that shows all the tasks and how they relate to each other. I can go as general as I need, and only create subtasks when I start to drill in. I also create subtasks when I can't do a task in one sitting, or if I can do part of a task with the info/time I have now.<br /><br />it also shows progress by graying out completed tasks.<br /><br />Note that I currently don't do this for personal stuff, but rather for my consulting gigs. I am considering doing that for more involved personal projects. <br /><br />I use wush.net to host the bugzilla install. $15/month. No other benefit for the plug, just satisfied customer.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423688899751559332noreply@blogger.com
