Inbar brings with him 15 years of experience in the software industry ranging from development to project and product management.

Inbar focuses on the cultural and people aspects of Lean transformations as well as on the interaction between the Business and Development of organizations and helping managers understand their role in a Lean Transformation.

Inbar has an MA in Buddhism and East Asian Culture from the Tel Aviv University, speaks Japanese and holds a second degree black belt in the Japanese martial arts of Jodo and Iaido. This helps him understand some of the cultural aspects behind Lean.

While Kanban Boards, Scrum Boards and other types of Team Boards, provide great visualization at the team level, it is not necessarily what management wants to see. In lean we talk about the concept of going to the Gemba, the actual place where work takes place, but in software development it is hard to decide what the Gemba is and how to do a Gemba walk. In this presentation we will talk about extending the visualization offered by team boards, to create complete visual walls for tracking the state of projects. We will further see how these Visual Boards can be the basis for implementing Gemba and Waste walks in the software development and in IT.
