Kanban Method

An Agile approach derived from the original Kanban stock-control system, tailored for managing knowledge work.

Key Points

  • Visualizes work on a board with columns that reflect workflow states.
  • Limits work in progress (WIP) to reduce multitasking and expose bottlenecks.
  • Uses a pull-based system where new work is started only when capacity is available.
  • Optimizes continuous flow and improves using measures like lead time and cycle time.

Example

A software maintenance team manages incoming defects on a Kanban board with columns Backlog, Ready, In Progress, Review, and Done. The team sets WIP limits of 5 for In Progress and 3 for Review. When a developer finishes a task, they pull the next highest-priority item from Ready. The team tracks cycle time weekly and adjusts WIP limits to eliminate bottlenecks in Review.
