Agile Kanban: Kanban for Software Development Teams

Kanban is not a software development lifecycle methodology or an approach to project management.

It requires that some process is already in place so that Kanban can be applied to

incrementally change the underlying process.

—David Anderson, Kanban

Kanban is a popular framework used to implement agile and DevOps software development. It requires real-time communication of capacity and full transparency of work. Work items are represented visually on a kanban board, allowing team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time.

A Kanban board is an agile project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow).

It can help both agile and DevOps teams establish order in their daily work. Kanban boards use cards, columns, and continuous improvement to help technology and service teams commit to the right amount of work, and get it done!
