on “Ask HN: What's your most useful Kanban system for small software teams?” ↗…http://amzn.to/cdLAtx and second http://amzn.to/bqMhEa editions if you get a chance. They're interestingly different. I'd also add the various books on Lean by Mary & Tom Poppendieck http://amzn.to/9wsASi and also 'Kanban' by David J Anderson to the list http://amzn.to/en6PQ2 as well. You might also find these of interest: * The Scrum Guide - http://www.scrum.org/Scrum-Guides * The Agile Atlas - http://agileatlas.org/…
on “Ask HN: My University's library needs suggestions for books on Agile Development” ↗For me it was a sequence of books that did it. The Phoenix Project first, then David Anderson's Kanban book. Some tine after that was The Goal and Deming's Out Of The Crisis, and a book of Taichi Ohno musings. You're right, what has been seen cannot be unseen.

on “Software philosophy: Release early, release often vs polished releases” ↗The Kanban book by David Anderson was all about this, but it never caught on like Scrum did. If I’m feeling cynical I think its because there were no certifications to charge for and no strange new roles for middle…
on “The age of Scrum is over” ↗I just read a whole bunch of Kanban and Scrumban books (Anderson, Ladas, etc.). And then I load up JIRA to see how to use it with Kanban and I only have columns corresponding to these generic statuses? Isn't that completely missing the…
on “Ask HN: Is JIRA Kanban Really Kanban?” ↗FYI Kanban isn't a process according to Kanban author David J. Anderson: http://www.scrumcrazy.com/David+Andersen+-+There+is+no+kanba....
on “Developing SaaS? Forget Scrum, Check Out Kanban and Similar Approaches” ↗Have you read any of David Anderson's book? Are you aware that the Kanban Method is an adaption of Taiichi Ohno and W. Edward Demings guidance in lean manufacturing to the knowledge work domain? The Kanban Method is specifically designed for knowledge work organizations, which…
