What is Kanban?
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Kanban is a methodology originally developed by Toyota to be more efficient.
|
|
|
|
There is only two constraints imposed by Kanban:
|
|
|
|
- Visualize your workflow
|
|
- Limit your work in progress
|
|
|
|
Visualize your workflow
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Your work is displayed on a board, you have a clear overview of your project
|
|
- Each column represent a step in your workflow
|
|
|
|
Bring focus and avoid multitasking
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Each phase can have a work in progress limit
|
|
- Limits are great to identify bottlenecks
|
|
- Limits avoid working on too many tasks in the same time
|
|
|
|
Measure performance and improvement
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Kanban uses lead and cycle times to measure performance:
|
|
|
|
- **Lead time**: Time between the task is created and completed
|
|
- **Cycle time**: Time between the task is started and completed
|
|
|
|
By example, you may have a lead time of 100 days and only have to work 1 hour to complete the task.
