Personal Kanban: Mapping Work | Navigating Life (Paperback)

Machines need to be productive. People need to be effective. Productivity books focus on doing more, Jim and Tonianne want you to focus on doing better. Personal Kanban is about choosing the right work at the right time. Recognizing why we do the things we do. Understanding the impact of our actions. Creating value - not just product. For ourselves, our families, our friends, our co-workers. For our legacy. Personal Kanban takes the same Lean principles from manufacturing that led the Japanese auto industry to become a global leader in quality, and applies them to individual and team work. Personal Kanban asks only that we visualize our work and limit our work-in-progress. Visualizing work allows us to transform our conceptual and threatening workload into an actionable, context-sensitive flow. Limiting our work-in-progress helps us complete what we start and understand the value of our choices. Combined, these two simple acts encourage us to improve the way we work and the way we make choices to balance our personal, professional, and social lives. Neither a prescription nor a plan, Personal Kanban provides a light, actionable, achievable framework for understanding our work and its context. This book describes why students, parents, business leaders, major corporations, and world governments all see immediate results with Personal Kanban.

機器需要有生產力，而人們需要有效率。生產力書籍著重於做更多的事情，Jim和Tonianne希望你專注於做得更好。個人看板是關於在適當的時間選擇正確的工作。認識我們做事情的原因。了解我們行動的影響。創造價值-不僅僅是產品。為了我們自己，我們的家人，我們的朋友，我們的同事。為了我們的遺產。個人看板將製造業中的精益原則應用於個人和團隊工作，這些原則使日本汽車工業成為全球質量領先者。個人看板只要求我們將工作可視化並限制我們的進行中工作。將工作可視化使我們能夠將概念上的繁重工作轉化為可行動的、具有上下文敏感性的流程。限制我們的進行中工作有助於我們完成我們開始的工作並理解我們選擇的價值。綜合起來，這兩個簡單的行為鼓勵我們改進工作方式和平衡個人、職業和社交生活的選擇。個人看板不是一個處方或計劃，它提供了一個輕量級、可行動和可實現的框架，用於理解我們的工作及其背景。本書描述了為什麼學生、家長、商業領袖、大型企業和世界政府都能在個人看板上立即看到成果。
