Who knows!

It seems to be positive for us. I don't think it replaces XP practices like TDD, pair programming, collective ownership, etc.

What I do like about Kanban, though, is that it seems to encourage a customized approach given what culture and product you are working on. I think too often we say "this is the one way" where we should be saying "what's right in this situation."

Certain things we know are right 99% of the time: unit testing, for example. But other things we can't say with a level of certainty are "the way."

One more thing...

> or will it stay and flourish, to be the next “xp”

Guess what I was trying to say is it'll be what it's gonna be. XP isn't right for every development team. Same probably goes for Kanban!

"Will it “meme” and die, or will it stay and flourish, to be the next “xp”?"

Uh, its been flourishing since 1953.
