“The new series will provide the definitive reference on Kanban for professional services, knowledge workers, and intangible goods industries. We anticipate these new volumes will define the standard for the next 20 years.”

– David J Anderson

The original “Blue Book,” Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business, was written almost fifteen years ago and has sold over 100,000 copies; it has been translated into thirteen languages.

Discovering Kanban is the first in a four-volume series providing complete coverage of the Kanban Method and its implementation at very large, enterprise-scale implementations that span the entirety of modern enterprises.

This first volume tells the origin story of Kanban, the story of how concepts from physical industries were adapted and adopted for modern 21st-century work, illustrating with early success stories from Microsoft and two other modern technology businesses based in Seattle and San Francisco.

The concepts introduced here provide a foundation for the whole series and the complete Method. It is a must-read book for anyone tasked with leading and managing modern enterprises.
