I did not mean to suggest that. I'm very pro-parallel! A segmented workflow system can be parallel in at least two ways: 1) by pipelining, and 2) by branching. I have a more recent article that talks about branching. In this case, I used a whiteboard to draw these diagrams. Sometimes I use the PIPE2 editor.

I need to reread it again, but so far I can't understand why parallel activity needs to be designed away... Parallel is more complicated, but can lead to shorter cycle times. BTW, what did you use to draw those diagrams? Very nice looking. Very cool article, still absorbing it.

I was wondering how come you haven't put this example in the book as you have done with others posts in this blog. Thank you. Hi Mr. Corey,

I bought your book and I’d like to know if there is a way to exchange opinions about the methodologies explained.
I was wondering how come you haven’t put this example in the book as you have done with others posts in this blog.
Thank you.

Was meaning to fix that -- yours was enough of a prompt. Should be working now. Thanks Rick. Was meaning to fix that — yours was enough of a prompt. Should be working now.

I purchased your Scrumban article from Lulu as well, which is great info. I'm commenting, though, to mention that your Print link seems to lead to a broken page. Not sure what that's about, but it returns a sort of 404. Regards, Rick Cogley Another very interesting article, Corey. I purchased your Scrumban article from Lulu as well, which is great info.
