A simple overview of Kanban. The author has shared one of the best ways to manage his f*ing busy life.

Very short read, the essentials in a simple and effective way

Great condensed and simple read. Actionable, no nonsense advices with clear explanations. Should be part of school curriculum to teach people on how to regain control of their lives and corporate training to improve efficiency!

Good cheap intro to the concept

Also a neat prologue of how the author uses KanBan along with other tools (if a bit idealized). -Note the five stars is for the low cost e-book. I'd be disappointed with the higher priced paperback... Which would have to be more like a long pamphlet.

Gave many puzzle pieces, but it didn't really tie everything together. The paper that was included in the book was a bit better than the book, but again, none of it gave a good overview of Kanban. I'm going to turn to David Anderson's book next (called simply Kanban).

It's a good essay, but it's extremely short (read in less than 30 minutes) and the real value is the part at the end on how the author organizes himself.

Worth 1.99? Only if the article at the end is not available anywhere else.

Awesome writing

Fast read! Up to the point. Concepts, terminology and application of the same with simple examples - explained very well. It is a must read for anyone who takes responsibility to be diligent and productive in 'any field', including completing honey-do-lists!

Clear and concise. A very good introduction.

A re-read this short book with pleasure.
If you have 30 minutes, read it!

Short and useful intro to Kanban. The author's guide to personal productivity is very worthwhile.
