Kanban methodology

• one of the Agile process frameworks
• signboard or billboard
• Manage work by balancing demands with available capacity, and by improving the handling of system-level bottlenecks
• Work is pulled as capacity permits, rather than work being pushed into the process when requested.
• A visual process management system which aids decision-making about what, when, and how much to produce
  • NOTE: doesn't help you know if you're building the right thing
• David Anderson's 2010 book, Kanban, describes an evolution of the approach from a 2004 project at Microsoft
• The WIP limits for development steps provide development teams immediate feedback on common workflow issues
