My presentation at the Agile Trends 2023 (Sao Paulo, Brazil) was featured in Kanban University’s April newsletter – Kanban is not a “Team Level” method.
It is a very simple lecture, to explain that Kanban is interesting at the team level but demonstrates its robustness at the service level (end-to-end flows).
I adapted the slides (presented in Portuguese) to share with the international Kanban community in English.

I was proudly invited by Helen Meek, the Kanban Queen 👸 🇬🇧 , to talk on the Kanban Coaching Exchange.
Kanban, Squirrels and the Alternative Path to Agility is a presentation about the adoption of the Kanban Method as an alternative to Scrum in a big financial institution.
Thank you everyone from UK for the welcome and the opportunity to share! 🙂

On June 24th, I presented my first talk in English. Thank you Kenneth Roberts and Agile Princeton for the opportunity to share about Upstream Kanban and the reception in the community (I am improving my English, sorry for my mistakes).
I hope it is the first of many!

While in Downstream (delivery) we have work the team has already committed to, in Upstream we have options. The commitment point (when the marriage with demands happens :D) delimits the boundary between Upstream and Downstream.
Our ability to have ideas and generate opportunities is greater than the ability to convert them into done items, which is why Upstream is like a “funnel with filters” where options are analyzed, refined, discarded, studied and selected to be worked on.
Upstream Kanban
Book Essential Upstream Kanban (Patrick Steyaert)
Analysing and managing Upstream and Downstream create a more sustainable, efficient and effective flow from end to end, integrating the development team and business areas.
In the following video (part of the “Upstream Kanban” talk) I explain the image.
Discarded
Options are expected to be discarded at any Upstream stage. While during delivery we avoid “breaking up the marriage”, we consider the Upstream a “dating” that may not work. 🙁
More important than “knowing what to do” is “knowing what not to do” for reasons of cost, value, market changes or simply because it is a bad idea.

The Kanban Picture* suggests a “work dynamic” for teams starting with the Kanban Method.
You can find the latest version in my repository (explanation below or in the slides comments).
I am very happy when people use the Kanban Picture to introduce Kanban to their teams. Feel free to use (don’t forget to cite the source. 😛 ), send me a photo and i will share.
Kanban Picture presentation to David Anderson, Alexei Zheglov and Lean Kanban Brazil 2018 audience
A copy of Kanban Picture was autographed by the great teachers of my journey with Kanban: David Anderson, Rodrigo Yoshima, Alexei Zheglov, Carlos Felippe (CFC), Celso Martins, Todd Little and Joey Spooner. 😀
Functional Item
“Between dogs and camels, all things are animals. You should avoid rats and Elephants” – Although there is variability in the size of the items, we avoid the extremes. A functional item generates value, each card on the board represents a delivery of value perceived by the business. if you want a dog, it’s leg, tail or head alone does not generate value.
