Book Description

Kanban represents a unique way of catalyzing the application of Lean product development principles to software development, maintenance and operations. Being a method for driving change Kanban does not prescribe specific roles, practices or ceremonies but instead offers a series of principles to optimize value and flow in your software delivery system.

As such, Kanban's focus on context and adaptability has made it increasingly popular for teams working in contexts where traditional Agile methods are not an easy fit and mature Agile teams looking for ways to further optimize their development process.

This mini-book offers an easy to follow 10 step guide to taking the initial plunge and start using Lean principles to optimizing value and flow in your system. Each step consists of a section explaining "why" followed by examples of specific tools, practices and rules that have helped other teams better understand and optimize their system.

The author's hope is that this will make it easier for teams to get started and quickly understand the importance of value and flow by experiencing it first hand.
