STATIK & Evolutionary ChangeRolling out Kanban to a skeptical team
Rolling out Kanban to a skeptical team
You’ve been tasked with rolling out Kanban to a team that already suffered through "one more methodology imposed from above" and it failed. Skepticism is high. Doing this right means winning the team over, not pushing a process.
In 4 rounds, lead an evolutionary change: start where the team is, understand the system (STATIK), get through the learning curve, and make continuous improvement the team’s own habit.
The concept behind this mission
STATIK is the script for starting Kanban from what already exists: understand the sources of dissatisfaction, map demand and capability, design the real flow, and only then set classes of service, policies and cadences. The premise is evolutionary, so there is no reorganizing the team on day one. Here you introduce Kanban to a team that has watched other changes fail, and decide what to make visible first in order to earn permission to change the rest.

The mission opens with these numbers. Closing within the target depends on the decisions you make each round.
