Agile Kata: Patterns and Practices for Transformative Organizational Agility [Paperback]

Some of the great inventions come from putting seemingly disparate things together. Joe brought together scientific thinking, practiced through Kata, with Agile philosophies and methods and came up with something more powerful than either alone. Read this book and bring Agile to life!
--Jeffrey Liker, author of Toyota Way

Agile Kata draws on Joe Krebs's decades of experience increasing companies' ability to respond to continuous changes in the world and in the market. It's a literal survival guide for companies navigating the uncertainty of a twenty-first century business environment.
--Jeff Gothelf, coauthor of Who Does What by How Much?, Sense & Respond, and Lean UX

Joe Krebs combines Agile methods with the scientific approach of Kata for continuous improvement in Agile Kata. As someone who has applied Toyota Kata in product management, I've seen firsthand how these practices help teams reflect, adjust, and become more effective--just as Agile principles encourage. This book offers practical guidance to help Agile teams do the same, making it an essential read for anyone looking to enhance their Agile practices.
--Melissa Perri, CEO of Product Institute and author of Escaping the Build Trap
