Bird's Eye View of Kanban Systems

The book serves as a good overview of the different techniques available under Lean Manufacturing. As such, there's not much detail presented to new students.

I really liked this book. It is short, sweet, and to the point. It tells you all you need to know about Kanban. I also liked that the author included information on using SCRUM with Kanban. This was the first I heard of that.

If you want to learn something about the Kanban method of managing work then this is not a bad place to start, it’s cheap to buy and easy to read. It’s not comprehensive but it gives you a working overview of the system enough to get you started and to be effective.

It’s direct and straight to the point, I like that in a book, and there is absolutely no padding. There’s a little bit of history and a lot of useful information. So whether your company is using this kind of tool, or if you are looking for something to manage your own projects or time management, you will not go wrong by reading this book.
