Historical errata for Real-World Kanban

unconsciounable should be unconscionable

“There were two development deams working on this project. ”

Presumably, “deams” should be “teams”.

Replace “help” with “held” in “After each release, the team help a small retrospective meeting…” (first sentence under “How We Continuously Improved”)

2nd and 3rd paragraph are a repeat of the last 2 sentences of page 34 and 1st paragraph of page 35.

Enjoying it!!

The value “67” written in the “Explaining Upper Control Limits” box should be replaced with 68 since in a normal distribution the mean+sigma value is about 68,27%.

Together with 2sigma (95%) value used as UCL, another value I’ve heard by Gaetano Mazzanti (AKT) it’s used in Kanban as UCL, is the 85th percentile. Could be worth meaning, with a note that it increases a bit the uncertainty with respect to 2sigma but if the flow is stable, it could be used as well, since it represents 1 out of 6 probabilities… quite good, considering that normal estimates are 1 out of… a thousands?! :)

Taking PDF page 6 as example, reading the ePub on Kobo there are many pictures that do not fit the screen. Even resizing the font at the smallest size, the pictures are not resized and cannot be properly read. (Could be that they simply miss a “100%” resize somewhere?)
Figure at page 11, for example, can be read, on Kobo (Aura) only till about the “B” of “Building it”, so all the green arrow part on the right is not visible.

Figures at page 8 or 9 (of PDF) are instead properly visible (even though left justified, but it’s not a problem!).

(Hope the description is clear.)

If the person had all the elks on the board, then he or she could [NOT] start new tasks until all the existing work had been completed.
