Kanban

A flow-based work management method that visualizes work on a board, limits work in progress, and manages flow.

Definition

Kanban focuses on continuous delivery of work items with WIP limits to reduce multitasking and expose bottlenecks. Metrics include cycle time, throughput, and work item age.

Example

A team limits 'In Progress' to 4 cards to finish work before starting new items.

Exam tip
