What is Kanban? What is it for? How can I start using this methodology? Right here we answer you and we also give you free templates to create your kanban boards.
Kanban is an agile work methodology that comes from Japan (specifically from the Toyota company) and means dashboard.
It is based on planning and organizing tasks according to their stage of development, from pending (or to be done) to done (or completed). These phases are not rigid and depend on each project or company.
The goal is to have a visual check of the entire set of tasks. In addition, they can be grouped by department or manager for example.
In addition to being very useful at the organizational and management level, it has a motivational aspect, since one sees how the tasks progress to the end as if it were a game.
Kanban boards are matrices made up of development phases (columns) and tasks (rows).
