From Chaos to Kanban, via Scrum

Since late 2007 the software development teams at Codeweavers UK have been incrementally improving their ability to deliver motor finance and insurance web services. This two-year journey has taken the company from chaos to kanban-style single-piece flow, including Scrum briefly along the way. This paper charts that journey, showing the benefits gained from a simple "inspect and adapt" cycle in which the teams tackled their biggest problem at each stage.
