Kanban Board Kanban is a method for managing knowledge work with an emphasis on just-in- time delivery while not overloading the team members. Kanban is an approach to incremental, evolutionary process and systems change What is kanban for organizations. It comes from Japanese word, kanban is literally translated as billboard or signboard. The Principles of Kanabn Board 01 02 03 04 Principle 1: Start Principle 2: Principle 3: Principle 4: With What Do Agree to Pursue Respect the Encourage Acts want Now.

Practices of Kanban Make Process Policies Explicit. Feedback Loops. Improve Collaboratively. Visualize the Workflow Visualizing workflows supports proper understanding of changes planned and helps to implement them according to this plan. A common way to visualize the workflow is to use a card wall with cards and columns. The columns on the card wall represent different states or steps in the workflow. Visualize the Workflow Step 1: Identify the value stream Step 2: Identify the scope of work Step 3: Map the workflow stages to columns on a board Step 4: Define types of work and what ‘done’ means for them Step 5: Place work items on Kanban cards Limit Work in Progress Limiting work-in-process implies that a pull system is implemented on parts or all of the workflow. The pull system acts as one of the main stimuli for continuous, incremental and evolutionary changes to the system. The pull system can be implemented as a kanban system. The critical elements are that work-in-process at each state in the workflow is limited and that new work is “pulled” into the new information discovery activity when there is available capacity within the local WIP limit. Manage Flow Each transition between states in the workflow is monitored, measured and reported. By actively managing the flow the continuous, incremental and evolutionary changes to the system can be evaluated to have positive or negative effects on the system. Make Process Policies Explicit Until the mechanism of a process is made explicit, it is often hard or impossible to hold a discussion about improving it. Without an explicit understanding of how things work and how work is actually done, any discussion of problems tends to be emotional, anecdotal and subjective. With an explicit understanding it is possible to move to a more rational, empirical, objective discussion of issues. Feedback Loops The Kanban method encourages small continuous, incremental and evolutionary changes that stick. When teams have a shared understanding of theories about work, workflow, process and risk, they are more likely to be able to build a shared comprehension of a problem and suggest improvements which can be agreed to by consensus. Teams measure their effectiveness by tracking flow, quality, throughput, lead times and more. Experiments and analysis can change the system to improve the team’s effectiveness. Improve Collaboratively The way to achieve continuous improvement and sustainable change within an organization is through shared vision of a better future and collective understanding of the issues that need to be overcome.. The Positive and Negative Side of Kanban POSITIVE SIDE NEGATIVE SIDE 1. Everyone is on the same page 1.Outdated Kanban board can lead to issues in the development process. 2. Kanban reveals bottlenecks in your workflow. 2.Some time Kanban team make the board 3. Kanban brings flexibility overcomplicate. 4. team gets more responsive 3.Lack of timing is another disadvantage because there is no timeframes are associated 5. focus on finishing work to boost with each phase. collaboration and productivity 6.
