A snapshot of Kanplexity

Kanplexity has been developed by Agility Chef, John Coleman, after decades of experience in project management and agile product development environments. 

Cynefin Framework

Sense-making is a mental exercise that evaluates situations against our understanding of how the world works. Cynefin is essentially a sense-making compass. Kanplexity relies on the concept of sense-making developed as part of the Cynefin framework.

Kanban Framework

Think of Kanplexity as a Cynefin starter pack for agility underpinned by Kanban. Kanplexity is not context-free; some adaptation is expected. Kanplexity is for people working together in complex domains to build products that truly delight customers.

Direction of Travel

A direction of travel is a loose purpose that can flex depending on what we learn. The direction of travel evolves, pivots, or stops. While goals are helpful for complicated work, it’s crucial to inform decision-making with evidence for and against the goal’s validity.

How Kanplexity Works

A brief outline of the three key steps to adopting and leveraging the Kanplexity model in your product development environments.

Define your workflow

Create your Kanban board and make the flow of work visible and transparent. Each column represents a phase of production and identifies what must be done for the work to progress.
