商品描述

David J. Anderson describes this collection as "The Missing Link in the Evolution of Kanban." Anderson developed the Kanban Method over years spent managing and coaching Agile development teams, at companies such as Sprint, Motorola and Microsoft, by integrating Lean thinking with Agile principles and practices. This compendium of anecdotes and epiphanies tells a very personal story as he shares his journey on the road to Kanban - now a popular method for improving predictability while managing change and risk in organizations worldwide.


This collection of over 150 articles compiled from the Agile Management blog and several other sources represents 12 years (1999-2011) of invaluable insights by David J. Anderson in managing software development. Each article has been carefully selected and grouped into one of 16 chapters on topics such as Leadership, Management, Peter Drucker, Theory of Constraints and Eli Goldratt, W. Edwards Deming, Human Resource Departments and Policies, Agile, Lean and Leading Change Initiatives. Each chapter is introduced with contemporary commentary explaining its relevance and contribution to both Agile and Kanban.


This book might have been titled, "The Very Best of Agile Management Blog" but that would do it an injustice. Each article has been lovingly reworked from the original to provide a coherent flowing story that introduces both the need for Kanban and how it emerged as a leading method for improving agility in knowledge work organizations. Many articles are enhanced with new observations and reflection on how the Agile community has progressed since original publication. In total there are around 20,000 words of current insights explaining why Kanban is necessary and what makes it an important innovation in the development of Agile methods.


"This is the book on leadership we've been waiting for." - Kurt Häusler


"David successfully blends the principles of flow, queues, theory of constraints, Lean, and Six Sigma to concoct a very powerful message that I have come to believe over the years: ‘You’ve got more capacity than you think!’” - Charan Atreya

商品描述(中文翻譯)

David J. Anderson將這本書描述為「看板演化中的遺失環節」。Anderson在Sprint、Motorola和Microsoft等公司管理和指導敏捷開發團隊多年,通過將精益思維與敏捷原則和實踐相結合,開發了看板方法。這本匯集了許多軼事和頓悟的書籍,講述了他在追求看板的道路上的個人故事,現在看板已成為全球組織中改善可預測性、管理變革和風險的流行方法。

這本書收錄了從敏捷管理博客和其他幾個來源中編輯的150多篇文章,代表了David J. Anderson在軟體開發管理方面的12年(1999年至2011年)寶貴見解。每篇文章都經過精心挑選,並分為16個章節,涵蓋領導力、管理、彼得·德魯克、制約理論和伊萊·戈德拉特、W.愛德華茲·戴明、人力資源部門和政策、敏捷、精益和領導變革等主題。每個章節都以當代評論作為引言,解釋其對敏捷和看板的相關性和貢獻。

這本書本可以被稱為「敏捷管理博客的精華」,但這樣的稱呼會對它不公平。每篇文章都經過精心修改,以提供一個連貫流暢的故事,介紹了看板的需求以及它如何成為改善知識工作組織敏捷性的領先方法。許多文章還增加了對敏捷社區自原始發表以來的進展的新觀察和反思。總共有約2萬字的當前見解,解釋了為什麼看板是必要的,以及它在敏捷方法發展中的重要創新。

「這是我們一直在等待的領導力之書。」- Kurt Häusler

「David成功地將流程、隊列、制約理論、精益和六西格瑪原則融合在一起,提出了一個非常有力的信息,多年來我已經相信:『你擁有比你想像的更多能力!』」- Charan Atreya
