• Body = 40 points
– What The animal must have a body, Why So that it contains vital organs like the lungs and stomach
– AC/QC The body is longer and wider then its depth
• Ears = 30 points
– What The animal should have ears, Why So that it can hear predators
– AC/QC The ears are not the same colour as the eyes and they stick out from the head
• Moving Part = 30 points
– What The animal should have a moveable part, Why So that it can attract other animals – AC/QC The part moves >1cm without any rebuilding
• Stands Up = 10 points
– What The animal should stand up on its own, Why So that it has less chance of getting attacked
– AC/QC It does not fall over when light pressure is applied to it
• Neck = 30 points
– What The animal should have a long neck, Why So that it can eat food from high trees – AC/QC The neck is longer than the legs
• Tree = 40 points
– What The enclosure should have a tree in it, Why So that it can provide shade for the animal
– AC/QC The tree should have three branches and be taller than the body of the animal – Black and Yellow = 20 points

§19 b@w™156 Back@Work_Skill-Builder™ Kanban
• Practical use requires fluency and confidence with the techniques.
– Pause to read the slide’s guidance.
• Creating CFD’s from raw data requires a little practice and I have a great simulation for you here.
– Reality requires a discussion of progress achieved that is then mapped to the kanban board to move progress markers. Here the raw data is in a table. You’ll have to apply the numbers to the kanban board you draw (or the templates I provide in the separate download for this Back@Work)
• I’ve provided three things I hope help!
– First a worked example from the same start point as the exercise but with some differing progress assumptions. Following it through takes effort to understand. Understanding this topic definitely takes effort if you are to internalise the topic.
– The worked example progresses the kanban board and the CFD day-by-day against some assumptions. The solution I’ve given illustrates the process but my solution is
very inefficient. One challenge you can take on is ‘Can you vary the order of work assignments in search of greater resource efficiency’? 0 Clearly you can! :-)
– Second and third are two blank templates. To emulate how I processed the data you can use one or both. One template is for pencil and paper –print it out to give yourself a work-space. The other is an empty .xlsx for you to populate – If you discover a bug in its formulas please let me know – It works ok for me!
– Have fun and as ever just shout in any of the available forums to let me know when you need support.
– The downloads are in this section of the eLearning Course and freely accessible §19 wkbk156 Worked Example³² (create a login if you don’t have one, access to these downloads is free)

§20 b@w™161 Estimating exercise
• Agile estimating is ‘empirical’, based on Locke’s “what we have experienced” – as an aside that suits those whose Myers-Brigs personality type includes Sensing (types xSxx) – with perhaps the Sensing-Perceiving folk most in-tune –
