Overview

Kanban boards are a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process. Originating from Toyota's manufacturing system in the 1940s, they use columns to represent stages of a workflow and cards to represent individual tasks. The core principle is to limit Work In Progress (WIP) to prevent bottlenecks and improve flow. Today, digital Kanban tools like Trello, Asana, and Jira are ubiquitous in software development, marketing, and countless other fields, offering a flexible and transparent way to track progress and collaborate.
