RFC: This Week in Kanbandev?
2011
This post is going to be one of those relatively few times when I ask people to comment. If you’re an RSS reader, and you care about Kanban, please consider visiting the site and letting me know what you think.
I’ve done a few posts this year entitled This Week in Kanbandev. The stated goal of this series was to get me writing more and get me reading the excellent Kanbandev mailing list. It accomplished both of those things, but I don’t see a future in the series in its current format. I find now that, after killing off my backlog, I’m interested in reading Kanbandev again, but I’m now putting it off because the thought of boiling down an interesting, 80+ comment thread into a few sentences is not a pleasant one. Because of this, I’ve not done a post on the subject in two weeks, and haven’t really missed.
That all said, I really do enjoying reading the list and sharing what I find. However, sharing is a two-sided coin – I’d like what I’m sharing to be somewhat useful to people. My current format is so short that the only benefit I think someone would get out of it is to be pointed to the list. People who are interested in subscribing to the list will do so. People who aren’t interested in reading the whole list probably can’t glean enough useful tidbits from my summaries. People who are already reading the whole list will continue to do so and not bother to visit the site.
So, here’s where the Request For Comments comes in:
- What have you thought of the series so far?
- Do you have any suggestions for Kanban-related topics I could write about?
- Do you have any suggestions for a different format (perhaps a “best of the week” instead of a summary)?
- Do you have any Kanban questions that I could help you with?
Please leave a comment below, and thanks in advance!
