My new book "Kanban and Scrum – making the most of both" is done!
The purpose of this book is to clear up the fog, so you can figure out how Kanban and Scrum might be useful in your environment.
The book includes:
- Foreword by Mary Poppendieck
- Foreword by David Anderson
- Updated version of my original “Kanban vs Scrum” article
- In-the-trenches case study by Mattias Skarin
You can read it online for free (InfoQ registration required though) or buy the printed version.
Translators: If you are interested in translating this book to your language, please get in touch with my editor Diana Plesa (diana AT c4media.com).
Merry X-mas!
Spotted a small typo, but on the cover, of course 🙁 “Forwards by…” should read “Forewords by…”, I suppose?
Thanks to both of you for putting this out just in time for the Holiday reading season.

Thanks! That bug and others like it will be fixed in a soon-to-come follow up release :o)
I would like to inform you that I try to mobilize troops for the French translation of your book : Wiki Kanban et Scrum
Merry christmas,
Fabrice
Great! Email diana AT c4media.com and she’ll send you the translation kit!
Henrik,
I’ll be using your book in a university graduate course I’m teaching on Agile this semester. Your book provides a great case-study for Scrum and provides practical how-to details that are missing in other Scrum sources. (BTW: I’ve written a homework assignment based on your book that I’d be glad to share.)
Sincerely, you’ve written one of the best software engineering books I’ve read:
* It’s based on actual use and experience
* You provide insightful solutions for a number of problems–better than what I’d come-up with
* It’s very well written. It’s clear and very well organized. It’s cogent–every point made is worth reading. Your English and writing style are very good.
There is one thing that would be helpful to know, but was omitted. What was the type of development project where you used Scrum, e.g., a web-based application?
Thanks for a great book, and for putting it on-line for free.
Sincerely,
Jim Yuill

Henrik,
I just posted a comment for your “Kanban and Scrum” book, but see I made a mistake–that comment was for your other book, “Scrum and XP from the Trenches”.
If it would be helpful to you, send me the comment and I’ll repost it elsewhere, e.g., on Amazon.
Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Henrik, just finished reading this book. Will try to use it in my project. 🙂
Glad to hear! It will probably work well as a frisbee or a doorstop. Not sure about using it as a mouse mat though, too slippery.
