New Kanban Maturity Model and assessment offering provides enterprise organizations with an improvement plan to increase profitability and productivity
SEATTLE, April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lean Kanban, (leankanban.com) the global leader in the Kanban Method, today announced the Kanban Maturity Model (KMM), which for the first time maps specific Kanban practices and cultural values to observable business outcomes using seven levels of organizational maturity. The Kanban Maturity Model (KMM) is a powerful new tool for coaches and consultants advising medium and large enterprises on transformation and improvement using the Kanban Method. The KMM describes an improvement roadmap and concrete actions that enable organizations to achieve fitness-for-purpose and exceptional business agility.
The complete details of the Kanban Maturity Model have been released in the book, "Kanban Maturity Model: Evolving Fit-for-Purpose Organizations" by David J Anderson and Teodora Bozheva.
"This seven-level model offers a considerable advance and innovation over previous organizational maturity models, while maintaining continuity with models that have preceded it," said David J. Anderson, co-author of the Kanban Maturity Model and chairman of Lean Kanban. "We believe the Kanban Maturity Model will better serve the pursuit of excellence in product development and service delivery and encourage behavior for adaptability and long-term survival of businesses," said Anderson.
David J. Anderson and Teodora Bozheva, a Lean Kanban Accredited Kanban Trainer and CMMI consultant, developed the Kanban Maturity Model after studying a decade of Kanban implementations from start-ups to enterprise organizations across five continents and nearly 30 industries. Based on observed Kanban patterns and practices, the Kanban Maturity Model addresses where an organization is within its improvement plan and provides resources for effective improvements that last and enable an organization to continue to evolve and fulfill the requirements to be fit for purpose. The KMM emphasizes business outcomes and seeks to identify gaps, which can lead to an evolutionary improvement plan.
"If you are truly motivated to make long-lasting evolutionary changes in your business and survive forthcoming disruptions in your industry, this model will serve as the guide to achieve these outcomes," said Joey Spooner, Kanban coach and trainer, TriTech Enterprise Systems, Inc. "Whether you're starting off with a general understanding of maturity with the Kanban Method or attempting to advance your organization's maturity to a higher level, this model should serve as a great guide and reference on your journey."
