This book has moved!
The latest version is available at InfoQ: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/kanban-scrum-minibook
(Still free, but registration is required. It’s quick.)

The InfoQ version includes: Foreward by Mary Poppendieck Foreward by David Anderson Minor improvements to the original “Kanban vs Scrum” article by Henrik Kniberg Detailed case study by Mattias Skarin

Why did I move it to InfoQ? 1. InfoQ is where people go to find this kind of stuff. It’s a great site! 2. They also provide a printed softcover version of the book. A physical book is more comfy than reading over a hundred pages on your screen :o)
