Kanban is a visual project management methodology that helps teams manage work by visualizing tasks on a board, typically divided into columns representing different stages of the workflow (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'Done'). It emphasizes continuous delivery, limits work in progress (WIP), and focuses on improving efficiency by ensuring that tasks move smoothly through the pipeline. Teams can quickly identify bottlenecks and make adjustments to optimize the process. Originating from lean manufacturing, Kanban is widely used in software development and other industries for its flexibility and focus on incremental improvement.
