At the beginning of his book, Allan Kelly describes Xanpan as both a method and a philosophy, his philosophy on how software is, or should be, created, and how Agile works, or should work. If Xanpan is basically a mix of XP (eXtreme programming) and Kanban, it contains ideas and techniques of other Agile and Lean approaches, focusing on how teams should work together to deliver better software and value. The book explains how to apply the Xanpan principles and perspective on all the aspects of Agile software development like planning and estimating. It proposes also a set of technical and non-technical practices that should help teams. Xanpan offers also a tool to plan beyond the next two-week iteration, giving teams a perspective of what would be done in the next quarter and even further with roadmaps. One of the most interesting part of the book is the final appendix where Allan Kelly discusses his own definition of software quality and presents the “quality onion”. With this book Xanpan, Allan Kelly presents his own very personal and interesting perspective on Agile software development. This is a book that I will recommend to every ScrumMaster, Agile Coach or software developer that thinks that improving the software development process of a team is more about doing the right changes to the current process than blindly adopting a new approach.
