What is Kanban?
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Kanban is a methodology originally developed by Toyota to be more efficient.
|
|
|
|
There are only two constraints imposed by Kanban:
|
|
|
|
- Visualize your workflow
|
|
- Limit your work in progress
|
|
|
|
Visualize your workflow
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Your work is displayed on a board so that you have a clear overview of your project
|
|
- Each column represents a step in your workflow
|
|
|
|
Limit your work in progress
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
- Encourages focus by avoiding multitasking
|
|
- Each phase can have work-in-progress limits
|
|
- Limits help identify bottlenecks
|
|
- Limits avoid working on too many tasks at the same time
|
|
|
|
Performance Measurement
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Kanban uses lead and cycle times to measure performance:
|
|
|
|
- **Lead time**: Time between task creation and completion
|
|
- **Cycle time**: Time between task start and completion
|
|
|
|
For example, you may have a lead time of 100 days but only have to work 1 hour to complete the task.
