Quantitative management and behavioral economics help accelerate enterprise business maturity. This talk shows how to apply Kanban to that effect.

Kanban is effective in helping organizations change their behavior. Behavioral economics helps us understand some of the underlying reasons why people act the way they do. In this webinar, Masa will show you how we can combine them to make people and their organizations more successful.

Overview: Estimation tools such as t-shirt sizing and planning poker are fun and provide a rough idea of the effort to get things done, but we can do better than that. Kanban's quantitative management gives us the ability to forecast based on actual performance instead of perceived performance.
