Kanban
What Is Kanban?
Kanban is a workflow management method that helps teams visualize work, limit work in progress, and improve flow over time. It is widely used in software development to manage incoming work without fixed sprint boundaries.
Why Kanban Matters
Kanban helps teams:
- see bottlenecks clearly,
- reduce overload through WIP limits,
- improve delivery flow across stages,
- adapt continuously without requiring a sprint structure.
How Kanban Is Applied
Kanban boards usually represent workflow states such as To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done. Teams use these states to understand where work is waiting and where it is moving.
The method is especially useful when demand changes frequently or when teams need a continuous flow model instead of timeboxed iterations.
