A friend of mine, CTO at Elfo [1] (a 60-ppl Italian software basically-unknown company) is successfully using Kanban for software development since almost 2 years.
Each team/project (6 to 10 developers) has it's own Kanban board, each person has no more than 1-2 tasks/phase and they focus on keeping the phases balanced, i.e. with the same amount of tasks. They're happy since its a light weight way to have a full picture of what's going on.
His original notes (in Italian, sorry) [2].

- bdehaaff 13y agoGreat. Thanks for sharing this success story. It would be interesting to know if the engineering team is motivated and understands the why they are building what they are.
- ecesena 13y agoAs far as I got a lot. The main reason is that, with limited effort, you see your progress (tasks move). Moreover the management is really enthusiastic of the approach, so they're often showing to guests (like I was) and promoting the activity as something unique of "their guys", so I guess this also makes people proud of what they're doing...
