Kanban in Action

More about the book

Kanban is an emerging second generation agile method inspired by five decades of process excellence in the Japanese auto manufacturing industry, also known as lean thinking. Kanban uses visual management techniques that involve stakeholders and facilitates understanding of how the work works. It helps teams adjust demand to capacity, reduce lead times, and create a driver for continuous improvement. "Kanban in Action" is a down-to-earth, no-frills, get-to-know-the-ropes introduction to kanban. It's based on the real-world experience and observations from two kanban coaches who have introduced this process to dozens of teams. This book covers basic but powerful techniques on how to visualize and track work, construct a kanban board, and how to visualize queues and bottlenecks, and more. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. (Quelle: buch.ch)
