In this first special edition of Agile Lean Europe (ALE) 2025 in Munich, Ina Galinski and Carsten Rüscher will take questions directly from the audience – live, spontaneously and in English. The focus will be on practical questions relating to the use of Kanban in teams, services and large organisations.

Topics & highlights

🎯 STATIK (Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban):

• When is a one-off workshop sufficient, and when is it worthwhile to reflect regularly?

🔄 Iterations in Kanban – yes or no?

• Iterations as Scrum rhythm vs. Kanban focus via WIP limits.

⏱️ Lead time vs. cycle time:

• Why customers only feel the total wait time – and which metric really counts.

📏 Ticket sizes:

• Fibonacci? T-shirt sizing? Or time boxes – and why it helps with forecasting.

🛑 Blockers & "Stop starting, start finishing":

• Why WIP limits come to nothing when blockers are ignored.

🏢 Business agility:

• How Kanban principles, flight levels and enterprise service management enable transparency and strategic decisions.

👥 Kanban & team dynamics (Tuckman model):

• Evolutionary change instead of big bang – how Kanban works in every team phase.
