2 of 3: The state of Kanban. An interview with none other than David J Anderson. 2nd episode of 3

Den Agile Agenda

This is the second episode of three in this Kanban mini-series, and I am extremely proud to present you with a very special guest. None other than David J. Anderson, the pioneer of the Kanban Method.

In this episode, you can among other things look forward to hearing David talk about the effort it took to write one of the most important books in the agile space, namely, the "Kanban Maturity Model" (KMM), and the purpose of writing it. You will hear what improvement gains you can expect as you move from one maturity level to the next. You will also get exciting news about Kanban+, and you will get David’s answers to some of the questions I have repeatedly been asked by students and clients about the higher maturity levels in Kanban, i.e., what to strive for, what is feasible, and why.

Just to give you a heads up on the topics of episode 3 in this mini-series, you can look forward to hearing us talk about why organizations do not "go Kanban", when there is such strong, well-documented evidence that it pays off big-time. David will talk about his work with the new book, Discovering Kanban that he published very recently. I guess you might call it a sequel to the famous Blue Book. You will also hear David’s thoughts about the future of Kanban, and last but not least you will get his recommendations on working agile in general. So, stay tuned.

If you are interested in Kanban, you don't want to miss this mini-series, where I interview the very person who made Kanban for knowledge work one of the most used agile approaches globally.
