In John Stenbeck’s book “PMI-ACP and Certified Scrum Professional Exam Prep and Desk Reference”, he creates an “agile project management process grid” which describes 87 processes used in agile project management. These processes are divided into five process groups (Initiate, Plan, Iterate, Control, and Close), which are analogous to the five process groups in traditional project management, and seven knowledge areas which can be mapped, more or less, onto the ten knowledge areas in traditional project management.
I am now covering a group of agile processes that support the “adaptive planning” knowledge area that are completed during each iteration of the project. Process 3.17 is Task/Kanban Boards, and I am splitting up the discussion of this process into two parts; yesterday’s post was about Task Boards, and today’s post will cover Kanban Boards.
In yesterday’s description of a Task Board, there were four categories represented by vertical columns that the stories are placed in. Each of the three categories after the initial backlog represents a “value stream”, where value is added at each stage of the stream.
- Backlog
- Development
- Test
- Completed
