Kanban

Matthew Royal

Good book overall. A little weak on transitioning from existing processes: I feel that when it comes down to nitty gritty details, Anderson is evasive. The Kanban of Kanbans mentioned later in the book seems like compensation of a systemic misapplication of Kanban to too-large systems. The central ideas of rate limiting and providing feedback up the chain of the process's maximum capacity is wonderful, but is not a cure all.

This is the best book I've read on Kanban, and it's very tactical and directly useful.

Software-Kanban ist ein Change-Management-Ansatz, der Ideen aus dem Lean Thinking und der Engpasstheorie verbindet und die kontinuierliche Verbesserung in IT-Organisationen vorantreibt. Software-Kanban lässt sich evolutionär in kleinen Schritten einführen und führt schnell zu kürzeren Durchlaufzeiten, besserer Qualität, gleichmäßiger Arbeitsbelastung und höherer Kundenzufriedenheit. In diesem Buch hat David J. Anderson, "Vater" von Software-Kanban, seine Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz dieser evolutionären Methode aus verschiedenen großen Softwareprojekten (Microsoft, Motorola) zusammengetragen.
