Kanban Toolkit

Kanban

Kanban is a method that offers a visual look at the work that needs to be done. It is a method that has been used for around 50 years, but it has been used more recently to manage project work. Kanban offers a transparent way to see opportunities for improvement, identify bottlenecks, reduce work in progress, and remove waste in a project. This toolkit will show the Kanban method, benefits, the different ways it can be used, and the tools to manage Kanban boards.

Download the Kanban Toolkit to assist in managing your Kanban board. Kanban features:

  • Create an electronic or physical board
  • Set Work in Progress limits
