Kanban Workbook
Kanban Workbook
A Practical Guide to using Kanban
About the Book
This is a book for those who learn best by doing, prefer pictures to words, and stories to theory. Although the book does include words and theory, we've tried to keep it simple.
Join us as we follow the journey of a company called Growing Gardens, as they embark on a project to write a gardening book using Kanban. We will see how their board evolves as they embrace the principles of Kanban, and encounter problems along the way.
We'll give you just enough theory to understand how and why the principles work, and then a checklist to help you start your own board.
This works for any industry and team. After all we used Kanban to write this book!
