  • Kanban board

    A Kanban board is a visualization of a workflow that makes work, states, WIP, and movement visible. It can be physical or digital, but the board is useful only when its columns reflect the real system.

    Flow and capacity planning

  • Kanban system

    A Kanban system manages knowledge work by making the workflow and constraints visible, limiting work in progress, pulling work according to capacity, and improving policies through feedback.
