Is kanban the new ... that just reads _odd_. Kanban has been around since the early 1950s. It's not new anything. Works great for manufacturing. Where it seems to fall down - in my limited experience - is when you try to apply it to IT. JIT / lean just doesn't work well when you get into the IT ghetto. It's still very much a craft discipline. Industrial processes don't work so well there.
