I really like this article, and agree with a great deal of it. But while what he's doing looks a lot like Kanban, it's not. Kanban is a method for process improvement, not a method for managing software projects. We write about this in both Learning Agile and Head First Agile -- here's an excerpt: https://twitter.com/AndrewStellman/status/100022571573903360...
When Jenny Greene and I were working on our book, "Learning Agile: Understanding Scrum, XP, Lean, and Kanban," we were lucky enough to have David Anderson (the guy who adapted kanban for software development) review our chapter on Kanban, and he really helped us nail down this particular issue.
Other than that (and a few things he says about the PMP certification), what he says in the piece is spot on. Nice work -- I'd love to see it expanded into a book!
