A Look at Kanban Software Development
Presenter: Linda Cook
Description:
Kanban is gaining popularity thanks to a growing number of folks, including Corbis & Yahoo!, who have been practicing and learning how to best apply Kanban to software development projects. Kanban uses lean techniques, such as queue management, flow control and theory of constraints to optimize the workflow of a team. According to David Anderson, "Kanban is a process that exposes the natural workflow of a system and reduces lead time by limiting the amount of work in progress."
We will gain an insight in to what it means to use a Kanban system for software development and how to apply the pull based system. Similarities and distinctions between Kanban and Scrum will be reviewed. Kanban systems use constant inspection and adaption to identify bottlenecks and defects. Linda will share her experiences using Kanban and how it helped the team collaborate on a myriad of projects.
About Linda Cook:
Linda Cook is a Lean/Agile Coach with over twenty years’ experience in the IT industry. She mentors colleagues, creates formal and informal training programs, and helps organizations apply some of the best practices in the Lean Software Development and Agile Project Management. She is a Certified Scrum Master and completed the Lean Six Sigma program at Villanova University.

Who We Are
DC ALT.NET is a DC/Baltimore metro area user group associated with the wider "ALT.NET community.
What is ALT.NET?
At it's purest, the driving force behind the ALT.NET developer community may be described simply as "The pursuit of happiness." While Microsoft has provided developers with a powerful framework and a bunch of very good tools and packages to build upon, it often feels like too much effort was put into a "one-size-fits-all" design philosophy that can make it complex, tedious, or just plain impossible to do things that don't follow Microsoft's prescribed approach.
With other development platforms and languages offering so much choice (Java and it's many quality open source offerings) and elegance (Ruby on Rails with its "beautiful" code and "convention over configuration" philosophy), .NET developers longed to craft cleaner, more elegant solutions without having to leave a framework that has so much to offer.
ALT.NET is about following your own beliefs about application design, and using the .NET platform to support your ideas, rather than retro-fitting your ideas to the platform. While none of these things is a requirement to "being ALT.NET," the community openly embraces:
* Agile, Scrum, XP
* Open Source Packages and Frameworks
* Test Driven Development/Design
* Behavior Driven Development/Design
* Domain Driven Development/Design
ALT.NET is not about spurning Microsoft's platform and tools - it is about being able to decide when it makes sense to use them, having control over how they are used, and having the option to go in another direction without having to abandon the framework.
