What is Kanban?
===============
Kanban is a methodology originally developed by Toyota to be more efficient.
There are only two constraints imposed by Kanban:
- Visualize your workflow
- Limit your work in progress
Visualize your workflow
-----------------------
- Your work is displayed on a board, you have a clear overview of your project
- Each column represents a step in your workflow
Bring focus and avoid multitasking
----------------------------------
- Each phase can have a work in progress limits
- Limits are great to identify bottlenecks
- Limits avoid working on too many tasks at the same time
Measure performance and improvement
-----------------------------------
Kanban uses lead and cycle times to measure performance:
- **Lead time**: Time between the task is created and completed
- **Cycle time**: Time between the task is started and completed
For example, you may have a lead time of 100 days and only have to work 1 hour to complete the task.
