Sell Sweets the way you build software!

In IT, everyday at work we apply & teach Agile product development principles with great ease & we never miss to mention that these can be applied in the non IT world too.(after all that's where it came from)

But how often have we tried to do that? In this case study, we share with you how we are applying Kanban principles to a small-scale ladoo(Indian sweet) business and the benefits business owners are getting from this approach. The business owners feel enabled to think big, visualize their entire business easily, plan to export their products and at the same time have been able to derive tangible actions for their day-to-day schedule. We will walk through a framework which we have created using some existing techniques, the challenges we faced during the execution and the successes it brought.

It is a lightweight framework. With the pandemic a lot of small scale businesses which are based out of people’s houses have flourished and this framework can be easily applied to such small business/start ups. With this framework we are trying to live Agile & Kanban beyond IT.
