Hello Luis, i guess you mean Kanban, right? If so, Kanban is a visual project management framework used to implement Agile that encourages small, incremental updates to projects or systems. It is useful when you are working in a project that involves both strategy and execution.

What did you think of the methodology?
Is there any topic covered in this methodology on which you want to exchange some impressions

why not propose an article to PM.com on the subject, you will have the benefits of images, tables... or better a Webinar?

For me it is YET another buzz word wrapped around something we have been doing for ages. I mean really? Let's look at it:
- A methodology used to create a project template
OK I suppose there are many ways to skin a cat and personally I have not created that many templates since the idea behind a template is re-use.
- Used on an A1 screen
Never been a fan of developing a project schedule on sticky notes so using a bigger area is sort of common sense?
- Inspired by Business Model Canvas
- Based on neuroscience principles:
* Simplify (our brain. Our prefrontal cortex doesn't carry many things at once)
The principle of simplifying things is as old as prostitution, maybe older. If there are any PM's or BA's out there who do not break down components into their simplest form before looking for a solution they should frankly not be in the profession.
* Group (when we group things together they make more sense and make memorization easier)
Yip again grouping should be a natural tendency
* Involve (the more stakeholders involved the more they participate and the more easily they buy the project idea)
If you do not involve your stakeholders during the whole project lifecycle (at least) then again I'm not sure what you are doing working as a PM/BA.
Sorry if this seems harsh but we keep on getting caught up with stupid buzz words which I'm yet to see add any real value above and beyond what we should already be doing.

Dear Anton Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion.
You are completely right The neuroscience principles cited here are as old as humanity
But they weren't discovered long ago
I consider the approach used at Toyota and the thinking behind the A3 simply fabulous
Do all project managers put them into practice today?
It is true that the sample of responses in this topic is not significant to draw conclusions. (for this community there would have to be 400 answers to say with a certainty of 95.5% and a margin of error of +/- 5%) but the vast majority of the people who spoke were unaware of this methodology and, more interestingly, received it with a certain kindness.
I did not create this approach. But I'm sorry I wasn't Colombo in this approach You know (better than me) that after he laid the egg, everyone started saying, "So do I."
For how many years has this part been a standard practice of involving team members in project planning?
How many years ago was the "daily meeting" and "balance of activities carried out during the week" introduced in the working methods?
What comment can I make to what you wrote: "Sorry if this seems harsh but we keep on getting caught up with stupid buzz words which I'm yet to see add any real value above and beyond what we should already be doing"?
I ask myself, "What will drive a person who has 75 points of influence in this community and is invited to speak at conferences organized by ProjectManagement.com to make this comment?"

Luis,
You purport in your topics and comments to desire a discourse (i.e., a reflection) on subjects, and you further state you want opinions. However, there are times when your replies take on personally negative connotations.
Anton’s comment is an opinion that gets stated often in this community, and that is “this subject/tool is nothing new.” Anton did not make any statements towards you; he instead directed his strong comments towards the tool/technique. However, your statement --- I ask myself, What will drive a person who has 75 points of influence in this community and is invited to speak at conferences organized by ProjectManagement.com to make this comment? will be viewed as a personal “jab.”
I understand there are sometimes translation issues, but I would ask that you make additional consideration before posting replies like this.

The business model canvas become very popular in the lates 90's it's not a buzz word , but like other models it is a simplified description and representation of a complex real world object. It describes the original in a way that we understand its essence without having to deal with all its characteristics and complexities.
So as many other models in practice could do what we intuitively already do, but that doesn't invalidade the model and the systematization and simplification that help us do. As humans we need a loot of times to be reminded to simplify things, the existence of canvas like this are a reminder to keep it simple for us and specially for the others to achieve an easy understand.

Dear George Thanks for your comment and for sharing it.
As you can see, I just asked a question.
This question could have been asked otherwise: "What will lead an influential person in this community to approach a topic this way?" Just and only that
Let's assume it was a translation-related question
I take the opportunity to ask you that you already knew the methodology I covered in this topic? Have you applied it? What results did you get?
