S1E7_We are self selecting, we are already having a pull system

Organisations often misunderstand the Pull System, mistakenly believing that it grants team members the freedom to choose any work they desire or feel most comfortable with. In this episode, Soma and Orod discuss the "Pull System" and designing a Kanban system for effective signalling. They emphasise the importance of "Managing the work, not workers," a key Kanban principle and clarify that empowering the team doesn't mean team members can self-select tasks arbitrarily, they should collaborate and pull the appropriate work based on its "Cost of Delay" to ensure timely delivery that aligns with business and customer needs.

In each episode, we'll pick a common question and dive into a different aspect of Kanban, exploring its principles, practices, and applications and answering that question. Our goal in this podcast is to demystify Kanban and help listeners understand how it can benefit their teams and organisations through addressing the common misconceptions, clarifying concepts and answering questions about Kanban.
