The purpose of this book is to clear up the fog, so you can figure out how Kanban and Scrum might be useful in your environment.
Part I illustrates the similarities and differences between Kanban and Scrum, comparing for understanding, not for judgement. There is no such thing as a good or bad tool - just good or bad decisions about when and how to use which tool.
Part II is a case study illustrating how a Scrum-based development organization implemented Kanban in their operations and support teams.
Consistent with the style of "Scrum and XP from the Trenches", this book strikes a conversational tone and is bursting with practical examples and pictures.
This book includes:
- Kanban and Scrum in a nutshell
- Comparison of Kanban and Scrum and other Agile methods
- Practical examples and pitfalls
- Cartoons and diagrams illustrating day-to-day work
- Detailed case study of a Kanban implementation within a Scrum organization
