Our major clinical work is centered on the unraveling and treatment of chronic health problems. Among the tools we found most useful was the Homeopathic Remedy, the prescription of which demands years of study and training if is to be used to correct deep-seated constitutional disorders. Yet one of the cornerstones of our approach was, from the beginning, to encourage our patients and students to be creative and independent and to learn to manage minor crises on their own.... It was left to the energy and enthusiasm of three of the most outstanding of the young physicians who have come through training programs here at the Institute... to systematize the knowledge that had been gained through years of experience and to offer it in such a way that it can foster the working relationship between the patient and the physician. They have provided a very practical book which not only will serve as a concise introduction to the subject of Homeopathy and to the use of tissue remedies, but also will put in clear perspective the home use of these techniques. --- excerpts from book's Introduction

David J. Anderson describes this collection as "The Missing Link in the Evolution of Kanban." Anderson developed the Kanban Method over years spent managing and coaching Agile development teams, at companies such as Sprint, Motorola and Microsoft, by integrating Lean thinking with Agile principles and practices. This compendium of anecdotes and epiphanies tells a very personal story as he shares his journey on the road to Kanban - now a popular method for improving predictability while managing change and risk in organizations worldwide.
 This collection of over 150 articles compiled from the Agile Management blog and several other sources represents 12 years (1999-2011) of invaluable insights by David J. Anderson in managing software development. Each article has been carefully selected and grouped into one of 16 chapters on topics such as Leadership, Management, Peter Drucker, Theory of Constraints and Eli Goldratt, W. Edwards Deming, Human Resource Departments and Policies, Agile, Lean and Leading Change Initiatives. Each chapter is introduced with contemporary commentary explaining its relevance and contribution to both Agile and Kanban.
 This book might have been titled, "The Very Best of Agile Management Blog" but that would do it an injustice. Each article has been lovingly reworked from the original to provide a coherent flowing story that introduces both the need for Kanban and how it emerged as a leading method for improving agility in knowledge work organizations. Many articles are enhanced with new observations and reflection on how the Agile community has progressed since original publication. In total there are around 20,000 words of current insights explaining why Kanban is necessary and what makes it an important innovation in the development of Agile methods.
 "This is the book on leadership we've been waiting for." - Kurt Häusler 
 "David successfully blends the principles of flow, queues, theory of constraints, Lean, and Six Sigma to concoct a very powerful message that I have come to believe over the years: ‘You’ve got more capacity than you think!’” - Charan Atreya
