ASQ Seattle Kanban and High Maturity

I’m presenting my SEPG North America 2009 tutorial on Kanban and the accelerated emergence of high maturity behavior (aka CMMI ML4 & ML5) at the American Society for Quality Seattle Chapter this Thursday evening. Registration with dinner costs $25.

If you are in the Seattle area, this may be the only opportunity to see me give a talk this year. I hope to see some blog readers there!

This event is significant for me as it’s the first time I’ve been back to the ASQ Seattle since I presented in October 2004 - the night I met Dragos Dumitriu from Microsoft - a meeting that led directly to the development of the Kanban approach and the entire movement around limiting WIP, visualizing workflow and making process policies explicit.

I wonder what will happen this time?
