Kanban Method

David J. Anderson's evolutionary approach to improving knowledge work using kanban systems.

Definition

It begins with what you do now, agrees to pursue incremental change, and encourages leadership at all levels. General practices: visualize, limit WIP, manage flow, make policies explicit, implement feedback loops, improve collaboratively and evolve experimentally.

Example

A support team adopts Kanban without changing roles, gradually adding WIP limits.

Exam tip

The Kanban Method starts from existing process; it does not prescribe roles or iterations.
