What is Kanban?

Kanban is an agile framework for process control in projects. Tasks are visualised as cards on a board – usually in columns such as “To Do”, “In Progress” and “Done”. The aim is to make work processes transparent, identify bottlenecks and improve workflows. Kanban is particularly suited to continuous, dynamic workflows and promotes self-organisation and efficiency in teams.
