In Kanban, aligning the effort of continuous improvement (Kaizen) with OKRs and goals is achieved through:
- Retrospectives: Regular retrospectives allow the team to assess progress toward OKRs and adjust their Kanban processes as needed. This practice fosters a continuous improvement (Kaizen) mindset, supporting iterative progress toward objectives.
- Process Tweaks: By analyzing workflow patterns, teams can adjust WIP limits, re-prioritize tasks, or streamline processes to better align with the organization’s goals and improve overall performance against OKRs.
