This episode features Troy Lightfoot who is a Business Agility Coach and Consultant as well as a Professional Kanban Trainer. The interview starts with a discussion about the basic differences between Scrum and Kanban and then digs into four of the metrics recommended in the Kanban Guide. We cover WIP, Throughput, Work Item Age, and Cycle Time, talking through what each of these is, the value these metrics provide, why they are so much more valuable than simply looking at something like velocity, and what these metrics can do to help you develop a better level of predicting when work is likely to finish and how they can show you and your team ways to identify and address the things that are holding you back from delivering value for your client.\n\nTroy also has a few ProKanban Certification classes coming up. In the back half of the interview, he explains what to expect if you sign up for a Professional Kanban 1 (PK1) Certification class or his Applying Metrics for Predictability (AMP) Certification class. \n\nTroy\u2019s Classes\nProfessional Kanban 1 (PK1) Certification June 23-24, 2022 https://bit.ly/3HmV1Ug\nApplying Metrics for Predictability (AMP) Certification July 21-22, 2022 https://bit.ly/3zxZOk2\n\nLinks from the Podcast\nProKanban.org https://prokanban.org\nThe Kanban Guide https://kanbanguides.org\nMy interview with Troy Magennis on Probabilistic Forecasting https://bit.ly/3tDUW9b\nMy interview with Colleen Johnson on ProKanban and ProKanban Certification https://bit.ly/3NUN6Ac\nActionable Agile Metrics for Predictability by Dan Vacanti https://amzn.to/3tAVeh7\nWhen Will it Be Done by Dan Vacanti https://amzn.to/3NUjrqR\n\nContacting Troy\nEmail: troylightfoot@gmail.com
