Reviews

Incorporating Agile (Scrum) and Kanban (Lean) principles and practices into your software development organization on a large scale and in a creative way will go a long way toward increasing value and reducing risks. For this reason alone, you will find it-as I do-very worthwhile to spend time reading this very practical book.-Jack Bergstrand, CEO, Brand Velocity, Inc.; Former CFO of Coca-Cola Beverages and Former CIO of the Coca-Cola Company

... the authors provide an excellent overview of both Agile and Kanban practice and help us understand that a one-size-fits-all IT improvement effort is likely doomed to fail. ... On top of a very logical seven-step process for IT-wide software capability improvement, this book also includes comprehensive advice, plans, tools, and practical case studies. By reading the book, you will be well equipped to determine what's best for your IT organization. I am glad to have read it and now have it in my library.
