Kanban

Kanban is a project management method originally developed in the manufacturing industry but is now widely used across various sectors, including software development, marketing, and more. The goal of Kanban is to optimize workflow, identify bottlenecks, and increase efficiency.
Kanban provides teams with a way to align the work to be done with the available capacity of each team member to avoid bottlenecks. It is just as well suited for individual use, allowing individuals to increase their efficiency with a Kanban board.
At its core, Kanban is based on visual boards where tasks are organized into columns representing different stages of the work process, such as “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Completed.” Each task is represented by a card, physical or virtual, displaying information like description, ownership, and progress.
A key aspect of Kanban is limiting the number of tasks being worked on simultaneously in each column to avoid overloading and focus on completing tasks before adding new ones. This encourages a continuous flow of work and helps identify bottlenecks and constraints in the process.
Kanban is an agile method that enables flexibility in product development. It emphasizes situational planning, evolutionary development, and continuous improvement. Due to its open structure and easy implementation, Kanban is suitable for various project types and is particularly beneficial for small and large teams as well as individuals to structure their processes and work in an agile manner.
