Three Foundational Kanban Principles
• Start with what you do (k)now—regardless of how ugly it is

Respect the current process —roles, responsibilities & titles
• Agree to pursue incremental, evolutionary change
• Encourage acts of leadership at any levels Kanba n i s n o t a

Round 1: Make as many slices as you can
Pizza Hawaii recipe

• Crust with outer edge folded upward
• Tomato sauce. Don’t skimp!
• 3 slices of ham cut from pink stickies.
• 3 slices of pineapple cut from yellow stickies.
Rules & constraints

• All cutting must be done with scissors - one per team.
• One red marker per team.
• One oven per team - holds a maximum of 3 slices at once.
• Must bake for 30 sec., burned after 45 sec.
• High quality: lots of sauce with toppings firmly attached.
Let’s play!

Orders can be picked up

Finished orders must be delivered
