Kanban: It's a Tool, and There's No Such Thing as "Just" a Tool

http://thinkprojectmanagement.blogspot.com/2009/05/kanban-its-tool-and-theres-no-such.html

Project Management Tools and Techniques. Friday, May 22, 2009. Kanban: It's a Tool, and There's No Such Thing as "Just" a Tool. Kanban is just a tool. No, Kanban is a way to achieve pull and flow.

I've been involved in projects large and small, as an observer, participant, and leader. I write about what I've learned, and what I should have learned. Project Managem...

Start your project off right by finding a big stack of illegible, impenetrable, utterly obscure and useless project management charts, and setting it on fire. The last thing you need in t...
