As we were settling into the Covid-lockdown in early April 2020, I had a Zoom call with Jim Benson, creator of Personal Kanban and Lean Coffee.
We discussed a variety of topics, including how Lean Coffee came about, how it has taken off around the world, the problems with Lean Coffee implementations and where he thinks Lean Coffee is going in the future.
In addition to this, we talked about our feelings on face-to-face collaboration and distant working, why Jim wrote Personal Kanban, WIP limits, ‘holding pens’ and value streams, work/life balance, multi-tasking and other misguided beliefs.
Jim has given us an amazing 65% discount off many of his courses (including the Personal Kanban Class, Personal Prioritization, Successful Distributed Teams).
