It's not J.I.R.A, It's "jira".

The guy reading this obviously has no clue what he is reading. Very uninspired. Technical book should be read aloud by someone who has some clue about the subject...

Unlistenable

impossible and unbearable to listen to. The language used is not suitable for a book, but rather for a scientific study or a dissertation.

Bizarre computer translation

This audiobook covers two subjects: Kaizen and Kanban. The part about Kaizen seems to be fairly normal.

The Kanban part on the other hand seems like the narrator is reading a computer translation. Many established terms are synonyms of the actual ones, e.g. the Scrum "sprint plan" has become "run conjecture." The script is full of these. Word choices are odd in general, "complex task" has become "confounding errand" or "mind-boggling work." It's fairly clear that no human judgment was involved in choosing the words.

Another issue I have with the audiobook is that there are step by step instructions on how to use Trello to practice Kanban. Besides the comical suggestions to "snap ok", the script refers to figures that the listener obviously cannot see. The instructions don't work too well in audio format.

I wouldn't recommend this audiobook to anyone looking to learn about Kanban. The poor translation job is so confusing.
