Overview
KANBAN: THE ALTERNATIVE PATH TO BUSINESS AGILITY
Kanban is a method of organizing and managing professional services. It uses concepts from the Toyota Production System (TPS) and Lean Manufacturing such as the decision to limit work in progress to improve results. The "pull kanban system" is a way to keep the focus, and to reduce task switching to speed up delivery while maintaining an adequate level of quality.
For knowledge work, performed by experts in a complex field, it is necessary to visualize the workflow using a Kanban board. The visualization helps to clarify what work is in progress, priority levels, dependencies, business and delivery risks, rules that have become explicit and commitment points. The Kanban method facilitates management and allows true ownership of the delivery of
