Seeing constraints, pulling value and eliminating waste is the goal of practicing kanban. This session is for those who are not familiar with this practice. There are some concepts that I have practiced that I look forward to sharing with our community: human signals, team signals & retrospective boards that support WIP + kaizen.
Intended audience is for people with some understanding of Agile that want to learn more about continuous flow and self organization. Maintaining flow is the goal, while allowing time to deliver AND allowing time for continuous improvement at a sustainable pace.

I'll certainly be able to use some of the info from this talk. Not sure I'd want Jon to organize my team, though. :) I like the idea of multiple boards, but 30+ seems totally over the top. I liked "Stop approving crap which will never be implemented." Scrum references didn't seem very "Scrummy" to me; not sure if covering "Scrumban" was a goal, but I didn't learn much from the talk in this area. Would have liked to see more about interacting with/supporting business goals. As with many methodology talks, it was very development-focused. "What to do when development isn't the bottleneck" is an under-served topic.
Overall it was more than worth the time I spent, so good job.
I thought Jon's talk was very informative. I was familiar with Agile and Scrum going in but I hadn't heard of Kanban before. I'm a little fuzzy on what officially was Kanban and what was Jon's personal tweaks, but regardless I felt the information presented was logical, practical, and easy to understand. I would recommend Jon's presentation to groups that haven't really done Agile or done it well.
