Kanban cadences<\/strong> are the regular meetings or feedback loops used in Kanban to manage flow, improve delivery, and remove blockers. Kanban does not require fixed sprints<\/strong> like Scrum. Instead, work flows continuously, and cadences help the team inspect and improve that flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your slides describe Kanban using visual workflow, pull system, continuous flow, WIP limits, and continuous improvement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Scrum, the team uses sprint events. In Kanban, the team uses cadences. These cadences are regular checkpoints that help the team manage continuous flow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n For students, you can say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kanban cadences are not about starting and ending a sprint. They are about keeping work moving smoothly through the board.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A team has many items stuck in Review<\/strong>. During the Daily Kanban Meeting<\/strong>, they notice the Review column is full. During the Service Delivery Review<\/strong>, they see cycle time is increasing. During the Retrospective<\/strong>, they decide to reduce new work and assign more people to help with reviews. That is how Kanban cadences support continuous improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kanban cadences are the regular meetings or feedback loops used in Kanban to manage flow, improve delivery, and remove blockers.
