What Is a Kanban Board?
Kanban boards are a workflow visualization tool that enables teams to work efficiently, identify bottlenecks and improve business processes. It helps track the work in progress and facilitates better task allocation. Then Kanban technique was first introduced by Taiichi Ohno – an industrial engineer and businessman – for Toyota Automotive in Japan.
How to create a Kanban Board?
- Select your tool to create the board. You can use a physical board or a digital tool like Creately to accommodate team members who work remotely.
- Divide all the tasks into three swimlane columns under the tags to do, in progress and completed.
- Organize your tasks in the ‘to-do’ column by order of priority. You can move your highest priority task to the ‘in-progress’ column once you start working on it.
- Set a clear limit for the WIP. It refers to the limit on the number of tasks that can be in the in-progress column of the Kanban board at any given time. This helps ensure that teams are working at their full potential without multitasking.
- Add cards. You can add cards based on the priority and timeline for a task or a project. A card should only represent a single item. If the scope of the card seems to be too broad, break it down into multiple cards.
- Set expectations. Specify who has the authority to add, rearrange, remove, or move Kanban cards. Limit the number of people who can to avoid creating confusion.
- Gather feedback. Collect feedback and suggestions from stakeholders and make adjustments to your Kanban board to serve the needs of your team and organization better.
