Kanban Method

The Kanban Method is an official business system that is designed to help teams visualize their workflow, optimize the flow of work, and maximize efficiency. It is based on the Japanese concept of “Kanban” which translates to “visual card”. The Kanban Method is used to identify, track, and manage the flow of work through a process. It is based on the idea of “pull” rather than “push”, meaning that work is pulled into the process when it is needed rather than pushed into the process when it is available. This helps teams to focus on the most important tasks and prioritize their work. The Kanban Method is composed of three core principles: Visualize the workflow, limit work in progress, and measure and optimize the flow. By visualizing the workflow, teams can better understand how their work is progressing and identify any bottlenecks or inefficiencies. Limiting work in progress helps teams focus on the most important tasks and prioritize their work. Finally, measuring and optimizing the flow helps teams to identify areas of improvement and make changes to improve efficiency. The Kanban Method is a powerful tool for teams to use to optimize their workflow and maximize efficiency.
