Kanban: Policies & WIP

Set the rules of the road:

• WIP limits: “Only 2 items in Code Review,” not “as many as fit on my second monitor.”
• Pull policies: Upstream pulls from downstream. Avoid pushing half-baked work.
• Classes of service: Expedite, Fixed date, Standard, Intangible (tech debt).

When blocked, swarm to unblock before starting new work. Starting is fun; finishing pays.
