So for this Miro board, I've looked at the best practice of implementing and refining Kanban projects/products and the progression towards a lean organization culture driven through organizational Kanban adoption.
These learnings have been taken from David Anderson's book on Kanban Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Tech Business, which I've summarised in this Miro mindmap.
The board is structured as follows:
What is Kanban?
Kanban in Software Development
Implementing Kanban
Coordination with Kanban Systems
Starting a Kanban Change Initiative
Tips for Getting Started
Delivery Frameworks in Practice at Boohoo
Conclusions
Read each of the mindmaps clockwise to delve into mine and the writer's thoughts.

Feature Planning Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Agile Methodology, Product Management
Features are what make a product or service fun, but adding new ones is no walk in the park. It takes many steps—ideating, designing, refining, building, testing, launching, and promoting—and just as many stakeholders. Feature Planning lets you put a smooth, sturdy process in place, so you can add a feature successfully, and spend less time and resources doing it. That makes our Feature Planning Template a smart starting point for anyone looking to add new product features, especially members of product, engineering, marketing, and sales teams.
Planning With Purpose
Works best for:
Agile Workflows, Agile Methodology, Kanban Boards
Planning With Purpose template offers a structured approach for setting and achieving goals effectively. By aligning actions with objectives, teams can prioritize tasks and track progress towards desired outcomes. This template fosters clarity and accountability, enabling teams to stay focused on what matters most and adapt their plans as needed to drive success.
STATIK Canvas
Works best for:
Agile, Kanban
STATIK Canvas template provides a structured framework for implementing Kanban methodology within teams.

User Story Map Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Desk Research, Mapping
Popularized by Jeff Patton in 2005, the user story mapping technique is an agile way to manage product backlogs. Whether you’re working alone or with a product team, you can leverage user story mapping to plan product releases. User story maps help teams stay focused on the business value and release features that customers care about. The framework helps to get a shared understanding for the cross-functional team of what needs to be done to satisfy customers' needs.
Kanban Framework Template
Works best for:
Kanban Boards, Agile Methodology, Agile Workflows
Optimized processes, improved flow, and increased value for your customers — that’s what the Kanban method can help you achieve. Based on a set of lean principles and practices (and created in the 1950s by a Toyota Automotive employee), Kanban helps your team reduce waste, address numerous other issues, and collaborate on fixing them together. You can use our simple Kanban template to both closely monitor the progress of all work and to display work to yourself and cross-functional partners, so that the behind-the-scenes nature of software is revealed.
Scrum Task Tracker (with CSV export)

With features like CSV export, teams can capture and analyze task data for insights into performance and improvement areas. This template fosters transparency and accountability, enabling teams to track sprint progress, identify blockers, and adapt their approach to maximize efficiency and deliver value consistently.
