Sense-make and Respond with Kanplexity – a jumping-off point for supporting Cynefin® via Kanban

• Agile has its origins in the Manifesto for Software Development (https://agilemanifesto.org).
• Sense-making is a mental exercise that evaluates situations against our understanding of how the world works. Cynefin (https://cynefin.io) is essentially a sense-making compass. Kanplexity relies on the concept of sense-making developed as part of the Cynefin framework.
• What we lack is guidance for potential agilists in other sectors. Using tenets of Kanban and Cynefin® sense-making, Kanplexity offers an approach to those in non-software settings
• Created in 2019, updated in September 2022 on kanbanguides.org/kanplexityguide/, and x-agility.com/kanplexity
• Kanplexity was featured on the InfoQ podcast – see https://www.infoq.com/podcasts/kanplexity-tackle-complex-problems/
