Self-Organization

Kanban practices embrace the idea that team members are self-motivated and seek to take on greater responsibility. The team will deliver greater business value when it is self-organized. Self-organized teams consist of autonomous individuals who fully understand the requirements, devise the best means to deliver them, and take complete accountability for the results they deliver. Business leaders in a Kanban environment play a critical role in enabling a team to become self-organized. They should understand the team's maturity level and provide leadership that encourages the team to evolve into a group of peer professionals.
