Kanban Board

What is a Kanban Board?

In project management, the Kanban board visualizes workflows. It limits work in progress and maximizes flow. Using Kanban boards makes work visible for teams and helps them stay on track. The Kanban board displays columns and cards with visual signals.

Originally developed to support the production process, the Kanban board often has three columns: "Open," "In progress," and "Completed." Work elements are usually represented as rectangles (physically, e.g., with sticky notes) and are located in the corresponding areas depending on their status. If the status of the work element has changed, it is moved to the appropriate area.

Benefits of the Kanban Board

  • Increases productivity
  • Improves collaborative work
  • Increases transparency
  • Improves focus

Kanban vs. Scrum

Kanban and Scrum are both agile frameworks, but there are some differences:

  • Scrum team members have predefined roles. Kanban teams don't.
  • Kanban is an ongoing process, while Scrum sprints provide start and end dates.
  • During a sprint in Scrum, changes are discouraged, while Kanban allows for changes.
