Kanban (Eng) - Waterdud/agilesed-tarkvara GitHub Wiki

Kanban is a visual project management method that helps teams manage workflows more effectively. Originating from the Toyota Production System, it emphasizes continuous delivery, workflow visualization, and limiting work in progress.

1. Visualize the workflow

2. Limit Work in Progress (WIP)

3. Manage flow

4. Make process policies explicit

5. Implement feedback loops

6. Improve collaboratively, evolve experimentally

• Kanban Board: A board divided into columns (e.g. To Do, In Progress, Done) that shows the status of work items.

• Cards: Represent individual work items or tasks.

• Columns: Represent different stages of the process.

• WIP Limits: Restrict the number of items in each column.

Kanban encourages smooth flow of work by visualizing tasks and addressing bottlenecks. It is pull-based — tasks are "pulled" when capacity allows, rather than "pushed" into the next stage.

• Lead Time: Time from task creation to completion.

• Cycle Time: Time from task start to completion.

• Throughput: Number of tasks completed in a given time.

• Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD): Visualizes stability and bottlenecks.

• When you want to improve existing processes without drastic changes.

• To increase delivery predictability.

• For maintenance or support work.
