Lean Software Development with Kanban by Dimitar Karaivanov - HTML preview

2. Literature

Reading “Lean Thinking” by James J. Womack and Daniel T. Jones was how I initially became acquainted with the concepts of Lean. The ideas it presented made so much sense that I started reading book after book on similar subjects. Many of the things we do today would not have been possible without some of the books I have had the privilege to read. That is why I would like to share a distilled list of “must-reads” with you right away:

•  The Goal​ by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox
•  The Toyota Way​ by Jeffrey Liker
•  Kanban​ by David J. Anderson
•  The Principles of Product Development Flow​ by Donald G. Reinertsen
•  Lean Software Development​ by Mary and Tom Poppendieck
•  Lean Thinking​ by James J. Womack and Daniel T. Jones
•  Lean Product and Process Development​ by Allen C. Ward and Durward Sobek

Find the time to read these books. They will be well worth your time.
