Project planning using Kanban
Project planning using Kanban
The term Kanban originates from Toyota’s “just-in-time” production system, which means doing “only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed.” The purpose of Kanban is to:
Eliminate wasteful work, inconsistencies, and unreasonable requirements
Make the process more efficient, and teams more productive
By applying the Kanban approach to project management, the workflow becomes fully transparent and visual. Each team member can see who works on a particular task, what is being worked on, and so on. As a result, your teams can focus on the right tasks, and you won’t exceed their capacity.
Benefits of Kanban project management methodology at a glance:
Work is divided into smaller and more manageable tasks
