Q. Why is there a picture of Bruce Lee on a kanban site?

A. Configure SharePoint for use as a kanban board. Impossible you say? Not impossible. Un-impossible.
$. Cumulative Flow Diagrams (CFDs). This person explains CFDs really really well. Thanks!
THE MOST INTERESTING INFORMATION IN THE WORLD:
Sounds crazy but...
I used Kanban on my own children because 1) they weren't finishing their homework and/or 2) they weren't turning in the homework they were doing (real translation: too much homework). So I created a kanban board out of felt, velcro, and magnets. I put it on the fridge because as soon as they got home from school the first thing they did (or close to the first thing they did) was to get a snack from the fridge. Here's a picture of it: picture.
What happened? Visualize me walking down a flight of stairs very slowly, stopping, looking directly at you and saying the following word: success. After a few months my kids didn't need the board anymore. I think Kanban changed the way they were thinking because they "stopped starting and started finishing".
