Comments on: Kanban Is My First Language http://availagility.co.uk/2009/07/10/kanban-is-my-first-language/ Karl Scotland - Using Agile to Deliver Value Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:47:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ash http://availagility.co.uk/2009/07/10/kanban-is-my-first-language/comment-page-1/#comment-2929 Ash Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:25:00 +0000 http://availagility.wordpress.com/?p=332#comment-2929 I really liked the analogy Karl. I wouldn't get caught up in the first language reference, i think the key point for me was to understand the concept of being multi-lingual in order to speak about similar practices. I think there are some more rich insights to be had around this and it deserves more time to be spent on it to paint a richer picture. I really liked the analogy Karl.

Not just the coding, not just the management. I’m thinking about software development generally – whatever is involved in delivering successful, valuable projects.

I should have said that XP was once my first language, then Scrum became my first language, before Kanban became my first language. Good point Jeremy.

Polyglot software engineering, process engineering, etc. is a very healthy thing, but I wonder whether or not, as with language, one cannot truly understand language X or process Y while still in mental-translation mode as opposed to finding oneself thinking directly in X or Y.

I look at lean and kanban to understand the mechanics of why SCRUM works. There are certain principles at work in both of these methodologies that can be understood thru lean.
