Kanban
Kanban is a work management method that visualizes tasks as cards moving through status columns on a board.
Kanban is a work management method whose name comes from the Japanese word for a signboard. It began as the card system Toyota used to signal parts replenishment in its production system and was later adopted widely for software development and office work. Tasks are written on cards and placed in status columns such as to do, in progress and done, then moved along as work advances so the whole flow stays visible.
A defining practice is limiting the amount of work in progress to expose bottlenecks. Unlike Scrum, which organizes work into fixed time-boxed iterations, Kanban emphasizes a continuous flow in which new work is pulled in as capacity frees up. Collaboration tools such as Trello and Jira offer Kanban boards, and AI agent tools also use them to track the status of work shared among multiple agents.
