Kanban Cadences and Meetings

Although Kanban does not prescribe specific cadences or meetings, they do play a critical role in facilitating effective collaboration among teams and stakeholders by ensuring certain activities occur at regular intervals. These cadences help maintain a consistent workflow by enabling teams to plan, implement, and review work regularly. By adopting these cadences, Kanban Teams can ensure a steady workflow, align with broader corporate objectives, and continuously improve their processes.

Some of the key meetings that can be used in Kanban are as follows:

1. Planning Meeting (or Replenishment Meeting)
2. Kanban Team Meeting (or Daily Standup Meeting)
3. Delivery Review Meeting
4. Retrospective Meeting, and
5. Risk and Issue Review Meeting
