It is has been 14 years since I wrote the ¨blue book¨ and over those years I’ve learned how to explain the method better and we’ve collected a lot of stories and examples of usage.
It’s now time to publish the definitive and comprehensive set of volumes about Kanban starting with retelling the origin story and explain the why, and the what of the Kanban Method in volume 1, while volumes 2, 3 and 4 will explain how to implement it and scale it successfully.
The new ¨Better with Kanban¨ series will provide the definitive reference on Kanban for professional services, knowledge worker, intangible goods industries, and we anticipate these new volumes will define the standard for the next 20 years.

“This long-awaited, second edition book not only preserves the core insights of its predecessor, capturing the origins and fundamental spirit of the Kanban method, but also succinctly documents and discusses the evolution of the Kanban method since 2010 under the leadership of David J Anderson. It encompasses the critical elements of successful organizational change and introduces the Kanban Maturity Model.
Furthermore, the book seamlessly weaves the practices, principles, and values of the Kanban method through its historical progression and real-world case studies. Whether you are one of the veterans who have been through battles in practicing the Kanban method, individuals who already certified in Kanban method seeking for further guidance, or newcomers looking to have a solid understanding of the Kanban method, look no further! This new “blue book” is a must-read.”
