Most other books I’ve tried are too shallow and doesn’t explore the agile area of using Kanbans.It also contains a lot of references of for deep diving into the adjacent subjects.The only downside for me personally, is that Tia book uses software development as a base for the examples and explanations.On the other hand, the Kanban Methodology is easily applied to any matter subject. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pragmatic, -practial, and well-written book on Kanban *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2017* “Kanban In Action” is a wonderful, well organized, and well-written book. I can see this being a book that I reference frequently due to the richness of the content and its practical approach.In general, I am a fan of Kanban and believe that there are principles that can be used in any implementation (traditional, Agile, Scrum, etc) and not just Kanban. My comments are mainly focused on the book, compared to the subject, and I do plan on doing a more in-depth discussion of Kanban in future posts.What I Liked:* The book is both practical and pragmatic. You can get dirty using Kanban quickly with a minimum of theory and overhead.* The first chapter nicely introduces the material by telling a short story about a software development team being introduced to Kanban* The pass the pennies game is mentioned and discussed. It’s a great resource that I can never find easily. There is also an entire chapter dedicated to teaching games.* The authors focus on three simple principles (visualize, limit work in process, and manage flow) that form the foundation of Kanban. This is central to their pragmatic approach, but they also provide a sidebar conversation that explains how this varies from other Kanban material.* The authors support and encourage a large physical kanban board, even if you also have an electronic board. The main reasons are that this server as an information radiator and as a natural gathering place for the team.* There is a fabulous section about the daily standup along with practices to makes your event efficient and productive. These practices include “walk the board” and “focusing on smells”. This section is invaluable and can be used by any Agile practitioner to improve their daily stand ups.* There is a lot of material covered in 310 pages, not only Kanban-centric topics such as WIP and flow management but also topics such as #noestimates, retrospectives, root-cause analysis, statistical process control, and cumulative flow diagrams.* External material is referenced often in the book and there is a great appendix for related books, blogs, and twitter accounts.* You can get a free electronic version (pdf, epub, kindle) by registering your physical copy of the book because it is a Manning publication.What I Didn’t Like:* I wasn’t a huge fan of the characters or the icons. I think having characters can help make a connection with the reader, but thought it was overdone. For example, I honestly can’t remember if Eric was a developer or tester.* “Line of cards” estimating is discussed and the material is present well. However, I don’t know why “affinity estimating” is never mentioned, which is the more common name for the technique.Quotes:* “He’s an agile coach; naturally he has stickies with him at all times.” (p.7)* “Remember, we want it simple and easy. If you see a need to later, you can always change it.” (p. 13)* “Work isn’t done until it’s producing value to the customer”. (p. 18) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough *by H***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022* I found this book both thorough, informative, well rounded, and inventive. I the multiple solutions offered for the potential issues presented. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/4801288-kanban-in-action](https://www.desertcart.at/products/4801288-kanban-in-action) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
