Scaling Agile: Kanban and Beyond...

Agile software development has been around for almost ten years. Some believe lean is the next step in our evolution. How do agile and lean play together, and what does the lean influence mean for the future of agile? Kanban is a signaling system, devised by Toyota and used in their just-in-time manufacturing process. Often, it is implemented as cards on a board that shows the status of work. David Anderson describes how you can use the kanban approach to build a high maturity enterprise that can scale agile practices to support large, enterprise software development projects. He describes how kanban facilitates a quantitatively managed, predictable, and continuously improving organization. David also examines future trends in scaling agile, including the real option theory, CMMI's role in high maturity organizations, agile portfolio management, agile governance, and the emergence of lean software supply chains. Join David for a thoughtful look into the future of agile development-and your future, too.
