In Kanban (Japanese word for "visual board") there is a list a tasks that must be made and they are being developed by order of priority. This priorities may vary depending on the needs of the project. There is no time defined for delivering a set of objectives, although each objective has a time set. It priorizes agility on completing objectives rather than having multiple of them at the same time (Work In Progress) It is mainly used in environments of offering product support.

Kanban is a visual workflow management methodology, originally developed at Toyota as a scheduling system for just-in-time manufacturing. Its principles have since been adapted for various sectors, most notably software development and project management.

At its core, Kanban uses cards (often on a board) to represent tasks. Each card moves through predefined columns, typically representing stages in a process like "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done". This visual representation helps teams monitor and optimize workflow, ensuring smooth progression of tasks from one stage to the next. Tasks are being developed by order of priority.

Kanban's primary goals are to enhance efficiency and continuously improve processes. It operates on several key principles.

Visualize Work

At its core, "Visualize Work" means converting abstract tasks into visual representations. This visualization provides clarity on the status, progress, and potential bottlenecks within a process. Kanban transforms the intangible nature of tasks into something concrete and tangible, enabling teams to manage and optimize their workflow more effectively.

How is Work Visualized?

• Kanban Board: The most common tool for visualizing work in Kanban is the Kanban board. This board can be physical (using sticky notes on a whiteboard) or digital (using software tools). It's divided into columns, with each column representing a stage in the process.
• Cards: Each task or item of work is represented by a card. The card contains essential details about the task, like its description, owner, due date, and any other relevant information.
• Columns: As mentioned, each column on the board signifies a stage of the workflow. Common columns are "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done", but these can be customized to suit specific processes.
• WIP Limits: Though not solely about visualization, Work-in-Progress limits are often indicated at the top of columns. These numbers signify the maximum number of tasks/cards that can be in that column at any given time.
