What you need to know about Kanban

Kanban is a visual method for managing tasks and workflows, designed to improve efficiency and productivity. Of Japanese origin, it was developed by Toyota to optimize production in its factories and has since been adapted to various fields, notably software development and project management. The central principle of Kanban relies on using a board divided into columns representing different stages of a process (for example: To Do, In Progress, Done). Tasks, represented by cards, move from one column to another as they progress. This approach provides a clear view of the current state of work, priorities, and potential bottlenecks. Kanban promotes continuous improvement by limiting work in progress (WIP), improving communication between team members, and enabling better adaptation to changes. Simple and flexible, Kanban is used in both small teams and large organizations to optimize processes and achieve objectives more smoothly.
