Glossary

If you are not familiar with the terms I’ve used, here are the definitions:

Agile: You work in small chunks, finishing work that is valuable to the customer in the order the customer specifies. The value of working in an agile way is that you have the ability to change quickly, because you complete work.

Kanban: Literally the Japanese word for “signboard.” A scheduling system for limiting the amount of work in progress at any one time.

Lean: A pull approach to managing work that looks for waste in the system.

LinkedIn: A social networking website for people in professional occupations. http://www.linkedin.com.

Parking Lot: This is a place to put issues you don’t want to lose but don’t necessarily want to address at this time.
