Kanban: Mudança Evolucionária de Sucesso para seu Negócio de Tecnologia (Portuguese Edition)

Ideas for fulfilling customer needs can be generated much faster than they can actually be realized. This is the source of much tension between the organization and its customers, but also within the organization itself.
Upstream Kanban isn't so much about "managing flow," as seen with downstream, Delivery Kanban systems. Instead, it is about marshaling options--having enough choices at the right time, without overburdening the system and the workers who generate those options.
Discover the mechanisms of Upstream Kanban and Customer Kanban for better enterprise business agility.

Fit for Purpose: How Modern Businesses Find, Satisfy, & Keep Customers

Are your products and services fit for purpose?
How would you know?
Do you know why your customers choose you, your products, and your services? If not, how can you find out?
In this new book from the best-selling author of Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business, David J. Anderson, together with Alexei Zheglov, teach you how to answer these questions and more. . . .
How do you know whether a change is an improvement?
When is an improvement a step too far?
When might you be overserving your market?
Using highly accessible examples from transportation, broadcasting, entertainment, food and beverage, online retailing, telecommunications, software applications, pharmaceuticals, sports and recreation, automotive manufacturing, and retailing, Anderson and Zheglov teach you how to choose the right metrics to drive the behavior you need to catalyze improvements that directly affect customer satisfaction. Using their unique brand of storytelling, they show how to segment your market based on customer purpose, how to establish fitness criteria metrics as your key performance indicators (KPIs), how to use your frontline staff to sense your market, and alternatively, using Fit-for-Purpose Surveys and the Fitness Box Score. Using the highly pragmatic, actionable guidance of the Fit-for-Purpose Framework, you will learn how to select market segments that align to your strategy, how to design products and services that align to customer expectations, and how to take actions to amplify successful markets and switch off unsuccessful ones. This book will help you find new customers in new market segments, better satisfy your existing customers, and keep them all coming back for more.
Fit for Purpose is for executives, strategic planners, product managers, product planners, portfolio managers, service designers, service delivery managers, and anyone who wants to understand better how to manage for long-term survival and profitability in the complex and volatile markets of the 21st Century.

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

Lessons in Agile Management: On the Road to Kanban

Zheglov, Alexei

"I set myself the task of describing the 'humane, start with what you do now approach to change' not as a productivity tool, but as a management method built around a strong framework of values—a way to help organizations work better for their people, their customers, and other stakeholders." — Mike Burrows, author Kanban from the Inside takes a distinctive approach to the Kanban Method — using a system of nine values to explain what it is, to give insight into how its practitioners think, and to offer practical advice on how to apply it. Readers new to Kanban will understand why and how it works, while those with experience will appreciate its fresh perspective and the connections it makes with a range of related models. Part I draws on real-world experience to explain the Kanban Method through nine values: transparency, balance, collaboration, customer focus, flow, leadership, understanding, agreement, and respect. It also introduces Kanban's three Agendas and the Kanban Lens. Part II describes other models useful to understanding and applying the Kanban Method more effectively. It is a tour through related bodies of knowledge, including Systems Thinking, Lean, Agile, and Theory of Constraints. Part III is a step-by-step implementation guide that brings up to date the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban (STATIK). It offers practical ways to capture and address in your Kanban implementation the needs of your organization, your colleagues, and your customers. --------------------------- "This book is the new standard that I will recommend to anyone getting started with Kanban." —Wolfgang Wiedenroth, Kanban Trainer/Coach, it-agile "It is not focused just on the mechanics of the kanban board; rather it explains everything you need around it to keep a Kanban initiative moving." —Klaus Leopold, Kanban Trainer/Coach, LEANability "This gave me a deeper understanding of familiar concepts and introduced concepts new to me." —Kevin Murray, Delivery Director, Valtech UK
