Kanban Maturity Model:

I received my copy of KanbanMaturityModel couple of weeks back! Another great one from David Anderson and Teodora Bozheva and it is really amazing, So just decided to jot down the benefits that I have got post construing:

ü Unique Book for the Kanban Practitioners to maps the breadth & depth of six general practices of the Kanban Method, to seven levels of organizational maturity, culture and leadership behaviour.

• As a practitioner, It has triggered plenty of thoughts, that can make my ongoing implementations of Kanban at a depth & scale that the respective organization can consume without choking. It really talk about organizational maturity and the appropriate depth of Kanban that maps to it.
• The defined practices has given good guidance to align product development & service process helped to ensure continuous delivery while maintaining consistent customer expectation, because most of the issue resolution time was lesser compared to the history database.
• The top management has decided to use KMM with CMMI to improve the business agility. We look forward to see how this goes before proceeding to the next ML
• Reading the first page makes me think that, I could have done my past implementation/coaching practices more effective, if I would have received this book many years back

While Reading, I recollected multiple scenarios where my Agile adoption is stuck, There are solutions/food for thought/thought provoking points available in this book to throw light or fire the pursuit of business agility.

From the Consulting/Training/Coaching that I have acquired so far, I can endorse that, The Kanban Maturity Model isn’t an incremental adoption model, rather it is an appropriateness model: it maps the breadth & depth of six general practices of the Kanban Method, to seven levels of organizational maturity, culture and leadership behaviour. The KMM guides effective implementation of Kanban at a depth and scale that an organization can consume without choking We don’t talk about Kanban maturity, instead we talk about organizational maturity and the appropriate depth of Kanban that maps to it.

I would say “An Unique Handbook for any Agile/Kanban Coaches & Practitioners
