What is the Kanban Maturity Model
Based on more than ten years of research, the Kanban Maturity Model was designed to map Kanban practices to different cultural values and business outcomes. It illustrates the six levels of organizational maturity to create a map for resilience, reinvention, and customer satisfaction.

The model helps prevent the two failure modes in Kanban
implementations: overreaching causing an aborted start, and false
summit plateaus causing failure to realize the full benefit.
