It gives an organisation's management a perspective and high-level guidance on the way forward. As an experienced Kanban coach leading large-scale improvement initiatives, I value the model and its guidance for my day-to-day work on all levels. It is far more powerful than ticking of boxes. The KMM helps to look for evidence of value brought to the organisation. It is a must-read for every Kanban coach or agile practitioner.</p><p><em>--</em><strong>Peter Kerschbaumer</strong><em>, </em>Kanban Coaching Professional and Enterprise Services Planning</p><p>KMM is a map that helps us to locate where we are and define our path toward better business results.</p><p>--<strong>Aitor Eguren</strong>, General Manager, Soraluze Makina Bereziak, S.L.L.</p><p> </p><br>
