Kanban Guide

Concise definition of Kanban by Daniel Vacanti and John Coleman (2020), focused on optimizing flow.

Definition

It defines three practices: defining and visualizing the workflow (Definition of Workflow), actively managing items in a workflow, and improving the workflow. Required measures are WIP, throughput, work item age, and cycle time. Scrum.org also publishes the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams.

Example

A team writes a Definition of Workflow specifying start and end points and WIP limits.

Exam tip

PSK exams draw from the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams.
