Becoming an Agile Family thru Kanban

Posted onAuthorbusiness9017 Comments

Maritza van den Heuvel. a Certified Scrum Master and Certified Product Owner has been part of a software development team changing from waterfall to agile over the last three years, first as lead tester and now as the Product Owner. She is also a mom, with the ongoing challenge of keeping family life organized with her husband – from arranging kids’ activities and school stuff, to planning out financial goals and priorities.

Maritza with that agile work experience took Kanban home one evening and the rest is history. She is one of the most devoted of all Personal Kanban users. Her Becoming An Agile Family blog is excellent and if I have one complaint is that she does not blog often enough.  I take great tips away from it to use in a one chair consulting practice.

Personal Kanban is neither a prescription nor a plan. The book provides a light, actionable, achievable framework for understanding our work and its context. This book describes why students, parents, business leaders, major corporations, and world governments all see immediate results with Personal Kanban.

  1. I like Kanban very mach. I even run it in my
    own family. I have tried to read the personal Kanban book, thinking, maybe I can
    find relevant tips and tricks there to use around the house and with the family.
    Unfortunately, the personal Kanban book is mostly for those who know Kanban. It
    is not at all oriented for families. it has a lot of sophisticated stuff there
    that are hard to understand especially for families. It’s not simple. The blog
    is not a simple read either.  The family
    area is a sensitive area with special needs therefore needs special attention. After
    all families and kids are not expected to be project managers. It would be nice
    to have a special focus on this area alone. 
    Is there a source of information mainly for Kanban and scrum with
    families? Sorry L
