This becomes a powerful tool for coaches and consultants leading Kanban initiatives and helping businesses improve their agility.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 10px; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">KMM provides a proven road-map of guidance on recommended practices to meet improvement goals. This road-map helps eliminate two common failure modes in Kanban and Agile implementations: overreaching causing an aborted start; and false summit plateaus that fail to realize the full benefit.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 10px;
