About Kanban

Kanban is part of the Toyota Lean Manufacturing methodology but was popularised for use in IT by David Anderson. Broadly speaking it aims to optimize outcomes by:

• Prioritizing items that are added to the potential work list then only commencing work on items when capacity exists to take them on
• Tracking items in progress so that items that have started are completed before new work is taken on
• Ensuring that items that are in progress do not get blocked indefinitely at any particular stage of the work

You can check out many Kanban resources at http://agilemanagement.net/
