SLIDE 1 Clean Slate: Create a Complete Dashboard
Zachary Sexton
SLIDE 2
Hi there!
I’m Zachary Sexton
SLIDE 3
The dashboard comes from a manufacturing technique called Kanban
SLIDE 4
I’m going to teach you how to visualize your work using Kanban.
SLIDE 5
Because visualizing your work creates awareness.
SLIDE 6
And with awareness…
SLIDE 7
comes choice
SLIDE 8
As you become more aware of your work,
SLIDE 9
you’ll gain choice over what seems to be just happening.
SLIDE 10
Because right now

SLIDE 15
Kanban creates this
SLIDE 16
because it allow you to visualize your work.
SLIDE 17
Visualizing your work creates awareness.
SLIDE 18
Visualizing your work creates awareness. Awareness creates choices.
SLIDE 19
So what is Kanban?
SLIDE 20
Kanban is a lean scheduling system developed in Japan by the Toyota Corporation in the 1950’s
SLIDE 21
Card Signal
Kanban uses visual cues that told factory workers
SLIDE 22
what to produce, how much to produce, and when to produce it
Kanban = visual card signal
SLIDE 23
The system’s highly visual nature allowed workers to pull in the right work at the right time.
SLIDE 24
And allowed managers to see bottlenecks, waste and other inefficiencies in the system.
SLIDE 25
This awareness of work and workflow gave Toyota the choice to fix the inefficiencies.
SLIDE 26
So they did.
SLIDE 27
The constant improvements compounded.
SLIDE 28
Reducing costs.
SLIDE 29
Increasing quality.
SLIDE 30
Putting Toyota on a path to compete with US manufactures.
SLIDE 31
SLIDE 32
Kanban spread.
SLIDE 33
It’s impact on manufacturing productivity has been massive.
SLIDE 34
Starting in 2007, software companies started to adopt Kanban like systems.
SLIDE 35
SLIDE 36
Using this approach…
SLIDE 37
small teams have been able to quickly create useful applications
SLIDE 38
used by millions of people.
SLIDE 39
creating billions of dollars worth of value
SLIDE 40
SLIDE 41
The key feature to Kanban’s success?
