review 1: I think this was a useful comparison book about Kanban and scrum, but I was coming to it without much Kanban experience, so I wanted a writeup of the history of Kanban and the philosophy behind it.The second part of the book, with the case study, was the most useful to me. That allowed me to see what the authors meant when they talked about limiting the number of items in a stage. A real-life example was just what I needed to grasp what was happening.I also found the kanban theory helpful to me since I am a writer supporting many cross-functional teams, but I can only do so many things at once. I am not, myself, cross-functional.Read if: You are looking for new methods of looking at agile development that are less deliverable-based.Skip if: You don't want to read about pro... moreject management.Also read: I dunno.
review 2: A short and colloquial introduction to Kanban, and/but mostly by comparing it to Scrum. If you're considering switching your shop to "Agile" methods, and/or are dissatisfied with the more traditional (!?!?) Scrum: give this a read. It's short enough that you can finish it in an afternoon; you could even skip part one and get the real meat of it from the case study discussion. (Also: it could use another pass with a red pen by the editors and proofreaders...) less
