Here are some snippets.

Why Kanplexity? ?

Agile has its origins in the Manifesto for Software Development. What we lack is guidance for potential agilists in other sectors. ?

We should strike a balance between the competing forces of doing the right thing, the right way, quickly, (more) predictably, repeatedly, and sustainably (inspired by Magennis, 2022). We should think and act appropriately for the complexity in front of us and only have formal interactions needed for the situation at hand.

Kanban and complexity ?

Using tenets of Kanban and Cynefin? sense-making, Kanplexity offers an optional approach to those in non-software settings. ?

As Kanplexity is an expansion pack for Kanban, this guide does not explain Kanban. The Kanban Guide provides a full description. ?

In short, Kanban is a strategy to optimize the flow of value (optional Definitions for Kanban Guides) through a process (an accessible pull-based system). The Kanban Guide helps people deal with complex problems by optimizing signaling (Orderly Disruption, 2022). ?

You can use any Kanban or flow approach and still benefit from Kanplexity as long as it abides by the key tenets of the Kanban Guide.?

Cynefin? is described in the Cynefin wiki (Cynefin.io, 2022,1). Cynefin followers argue that Kanban alone does not sufficiently deal with complex work. However, we can benefit from the synergy created by using Kanban in tandem with Cynefin. ?

Kanplexity is a jumping-off point for supporting Cynefin via Kanban.?
