What is Kanban?
Kanban is a visual project management tool designed to optimize workflow and track progress through a board and cards system. Each card represents a task, and the board is divided into columns that represent different stages of completion. Teams move tasks through these columns to visualize progress, manage workload, and identify bottlenecks.
Key Features of Kanban:
- Visual Board: Displays tasks and their current status.
- Columns: Represent different stages of task completion, such as “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.”
- Cards: Represent individual tasks or work items.
For example, a software development team might use a Kanban board to manage their sprint tasks. By moving cards from “To Do” to “In Progress” and finally to “Done,” they can easily track progress and ensure that tasks are completed efficiently.
