Kanban Weekly Roundup - Dec 20, 2011

                                                                                            By Dominica DeGrandis

Our last Roundup of 2011 includes two stories from the trenches – one on evolving standups and the
other on scheduling deployments.  Also included is a concise list of events and resources to end the year. 
Peaceful holidays everyone!
