Kanban

Kanban is a visual workflow management method used to optimize and manage tasks efficiently. It helps teams visualize their work, limit work in progress, and maximize flow. Work items are represented on a board, usually as cards, and move through columns that represent different stages of the development process. The goal is to improve efficiency and avoid overloading team members. Kanban encourages continuous delivery without overcommitting. It doesn't require roles or iterations like Scrum but focuses on gradual improvements. Teams can see bottlenecks easily and address them quickly. It’s flexible and adapts to different workflows. Kanban helps create a more predictable and manageable development process.

Definition of done (DOD)

Clear list of requirements that must be met before a task or project is considered finished. It helps a team understand exactly what done means for any given work item such as completing testing, code reviews, or documentation. This ensures everyone is on the same page and that the work meets certain quality standards.
