    About this ebook

    Learn what's Kanban and how agile development methodology and principles of lean management can help you develop and design faster and cheaper.

    If you’re in IT, you've probably lived through this: clients demand last minute changes on a tight budget, you don’t know what the other developers are doing, your work keeps overlapping, and you wonder how they come up with those unrealistic estimates.

    And you've probably heard of a solution called Kanban, maybe even moved a few tasks in columns. That might have seemed too simple and didn't work that great - or you came across a 500-page book which made it sound really complicated.

    This a quick read. By the time finish, you'll have a basic understanding of Kanban - and more importantly, how to start using it. We focus on the practical part, write from our own experience, and show you how to avoid some common pitfalls.

    Kanban - Aleksandar Olic

    Introduction to Agile

    If you’re in IT, you’ve probably lived through this: clients demand last minute changes on a tight budget, you don’t know what the other developers are doing, your work keeps overlapping, and you wonder how they come up with those unrealistic estimates.

    And you’ve probably heard of a solution called Kanban, maybe even moved a few tasks in columns. That might have seemed too simple and didn’t work that great - or you came across a 500-page book which made it sound really complicated.

    This a quick read. By the time finish, you’ll have a basic understanding of Kanban - and more importantly, how to start using it. We focus on the practical part, write from our own experience, and show you how to avoid some common pitfalls.

    Everything you read here, you can apply right now in Active Collab and start managing your projects more efficiently.

    Going Agile

    When starting a new project, the traditional way was: gather a team, book a conference room, and plan the whole project upfront. If something changes, you’re in trouble - and in software development, that something changes all the time.

    This called for a new project management philosophy, one that embraces the shifting nature of project requirements - and so Agile was born. Instead of coming up with a BIG plan and hoping nothing unexpected happens, Agile allows you to change a project’s direction on the go.

    The Agile approach consists of many overlapping methodologies
