About the Kanban method

Kanban board

A place where you can see how things work. It could be a digital board, a cork board, a magnetic board, a marker board, or Whatman paper. This is a large area with columns representing the different stages of the work.

Kanban cards (stickers)

The cards list the tasks, realizers, deadlines, and priorities. On the actual board, the sticker is moved to a different column whenever a task's status changes. The card is dragged to the next column (drag-and-drop method) if the board is digital.

Columns

These are the stages of the work process. Once the task is completed, we advance it along the column-stages. The main stages are: The Task, In Progress, In Review, Ready, etc.

WIP limits

This is a limit on the maximum number of tasks that can be completed concurrently at each workflow stage, or in a single column. This aids in managing the workload and advancing tasks toward completion. This is limited to six tasks in the traditional Kanban system. It is not possible to move a card into a column once six cards have accumulated there.

Kanban is a method of achieving goals by dividing the entire process into small steps. Using Kanban, you can organize almost any process, set tasks, track how quickly they are completed and meet deadlines. If the system is configured correctly, you will be able to delegate tasks and quickly identify “weak links.”

The Kanban method is implemented on “boards” (translated from Japanese as “signboard”, “plate”). The whole method is based on moving tablets around the board. In this article, we will learn about the purpose of the methodology and try to master the skill of working with a Kanban board in practice.
