With Kanban, every minute you spend on a software project can add value for customers. One book can help you achieve this goal: Agile Project Management with Kanban. Author Eric Brechner pioneered Kanban within the Xbox engineering team at Microsoft. Now he shows you exactly how to make it work for your team.

Think of this book as “Kanban in a box”: open it, read the quickstart guide, and you’re up and running fast. As you gain experience, Brechner reveals powerful techniques for right-sizing teams, estimating, meeting deadlines, deploying components and services, adapting or evolving from Scrum or traditional Waterfall, and more.

For every step of your journey, you’ll find pragmatic advice, useful checklists, and actionable lessons. This truly is “Kanban in a box”: all you need to deliver breakthrough value and quality.

Use Kanban techniques to:

Start delivering continuous value with your current team and project

Master five quick steps for completing work backlogs

Plan and staff new projects more effectively

Minimise work in progress and quickly adjust to change

Eliminate artificial meetings and prolonged stabilisation

Improve and enhance customer engagement

Visualise workflow and fix revealed bottlenecks

Drive quality upstream

Integrate Kanban into large projects

Optimise sustained engineering (contributed by James Waletzky)

Expand Kanban beyond software development
