Continuous improvement is the team’s desire and effort to continually improve by reviewing past cycles and periods and making changes to improve.  Doing this can reduce errors, multitasking, bottlenecks, and idle time. Tasks are easily managed and reviewed using the Accounting Scrum board.

 

Reduce Idle Time in the System —

How idle team members add value or known as “Slack”

Asking the following questions

  1. Can I help progress an existing task?
  2. Lack skills for an existing task, find the bottle neck and work to move it forward by applying the right resources.
  3. Lack skills for an existing Kanban, pull in additional work from the queue
  4. Can’t start anything in the queue?  look for future lower priority tasks that can be investigated
  5. Nothing lower priority? look for other interesting work (creative or innovative which could benefit the team).
