Keith Swenson, a new subscriber to the “kanbandev” Yahoo group, explains some of the parallels he sees between the Toyota Production System and current ideas about Lean/Agile software development.
Whether Toyota’s manufacturing practices and concepts, such as “waste”, can be mapped usefully to software development is a regular topic of debate on the mailing list.

I’ve decided to make the vector graphic files for the limitedwipsociety.org t-shirts available so you can download them and take them to your own printing company and make your own shirts.
Any stock photography use to make these is licensed and paid for. My design contribution is available under a creative commons license. So you can use these designs with impunity but if you make derivative work you need to credit and acknowledge my contribution.
This week at QCon in San Francisco I am launching a new Limited WIP Society supporter T-shirt design. The new design is also available as a button that you can place on your web site to show support for the adoption of Kanban.
If you want to use these assets on your site just paste the HTML code provided straight into your web source code or content management system.

An almost complete set of videos from Lean & Kanban 2009 Conference are now available via SEP (a sponsor of Lean Software & Systems 2010 Conference). Chris Shinkle, one of 2009 speakers is a development manager with SEP based in Indianapolis.
These videos were created by InfoQ. Unfortunately InfoQ were unable to use the footage as it didn’t match their required format. They very kindly donated the full content to the community and SEP stepped up and offered to host them.
If you didn’t manage to get to Miami for the inaugural Lean & Kanban conference then you can now watch all the presentations with the exception of Alan Shalloway’s key note from the Friday session. Watch now
If you are interested in the history and application of kanban then Jon Miller over at Gemba Panta Rei blog has put together this highly amusing piece that includes the growth of kanban into the software engineering field. Be sure to read it all the way to the end. The Amazing Adventures of Kanban.

More alternative assets to come soon. And yes, the face in the Yes We Kanban is Taiichi Ohno 
There are quite a few vendors developing Kanban tools and we users can expect to have lots of choice of tooling by late autumn 2009. To make sure that these prospective tool vendors create a tool that will deliver true Kanban functionality, I thought I’d create a product backlog for them containing some of the non-obvious features that we will all need. It’s so easy to get caught in the notion that Kanban is just about colored cards on a board and as we know it is about a whole lot more than that.
Nice to have features
Please comment and suggest other features I have overlooked.
