About

Kanban is a versatile and adaptive method for managing workflows, focusing on visualization to enhance transparency and efficiency. It originated from lean and just-in-time production principles, emphasizing continuous improvement and flow optimization. Kanban boards are central to this approach, visually representing tasks as they move through stages of work, allowing teams to track progress and identify bottlenecks easily. This method is highly flexible, making it suitable for teams with variable workloads and frequent changes. Kanban's key practices include visualizing work, limiting work in progress, and continuously improving processes. It does not require predefined roles or rigid structures, making it compatible with various organizational setups. Kanban supports teams in balancing work with available capacity, ensuring that work is pulled into the system based on demand, thus reducing waste and improving delivery times. Its adaptability and focus on continuous delivery make Kanban an effective tool for teams seeking to enhance workflow efficiency and customer satisfaction.
