What is the kanban method?
The Kanban method was created in the 1940s by Toyota Automotive employee Taiichi Ohno as a workflow management system to optimize production stages. In 2004, David J. Anderson used the concept for Scrum and LEAN Software Development when he published the book “Agile Management for Software Engineering: Applying the Theory of Constraints for Business Results”. Now the Kanban framework is one of the most popular methodologies within Agile and LEAN frameworks that provides value by giving teams a real-time visualization of work capacity and transparency on the progress of work being done. It includes a timeline with tasks created as cards where teams can see the task status, track progress and easily tackle roadblocks.
When should I use a kanban board?
Agile and LEAN teams use the Kanban method to track the progress of work from start to finish. It gives teams a powerful way to show progress across cross-functional teams and can be used to manage workflows and provide transparency on project workflows.
How do I create a kanban board?
It’s super easy to create a kanban board with Xtensio’s simple kanban template, and it’s the perfect was to easily collaborate and share the workflow with your team.
- Customize your Kanban board
You can rename the title of the task lists and task cards according to your needs. David Anderson’s original method established that Kanban boards are divided into these:
- Visual signals
- Columns
- Work-in-progress limits
- Commitment point
- Delivery point
We’ve simplified this by creating four columns (lists) to track “To-do”, “In Progress”, “QA (review)” and “Done”
- Add task cards
Each list has cards that you can add details for each task. You can add additonal tasks and move them bewteen lists as they’re moving through your workflow. Add additional cards by selecting the + icon on the menu at the top left of each list and change task status by clicking on the status option on the left of each card.
- Start working on tasks
As tasks are being working on and completed, you can change the task item status and move the cards through your workflow so everyone on your team can see the workflow from start to finish. Make sure you check and update the kanban board regularly so everyone is up-to-date on the project at hand.
