Managing your Lean Marketing Team in a Sales PDCA Cycle

In a previous post, I discussed the SALES PDCA Framework for Lean Sales and Marketing Teams. Within the actual PDCA stage the sales team is empowered to make their own choices and determine their own direction to accomplish the goals of that cycle. This framework is introduced in the book, Marketing with PDCA .

During these individual cycle work is patterned off something I would label a ScrumBan Sprint. The actual work of the team utilizes the sprint features of Scrum but the work of the Value Stream Manager and the Team Coordinator utilize the principles of Kanban. Those roles are very similar to the Product Manager and Scrum Master respectively described in this video.
