"We worked with a small development team whose managers were having a little difficulty letting
go of everyday control. The teams felt the managers were dominating the daily stand-up,
making it a dull status reporting chore and preventing self-organization. We recommended
that the team add not one, but two, Kanban boards. A daily board focused on tasks, located
in the team room, and a higher-level board, focused on features, located next to the managers'
desks one floor below. The team members took turns running downstairs to update the feature
board when statuses changed, and they made a point of answering the managers' questions
by referring to the task board. Within two iterations, the managers were happy to leave
the team alone during the daily stand-up because they were getting the information they really
needed."
