Every participant sees what is happening, where work is moving, and where it is stuck, without reports or hidden information. --- ### How exactly the principles increase transparency 1. **Visualizing the work** The Kanban board makes the process visible: tasks, statuses, and priorities are seen by everyone. Any participant immediately understands what stage the project is at and where the bottlenecks are. 2. **Limiting WIP** Shows overload in real time: if the limit is exceeded, the team sees that the flow is disrupted. It is an open reminder to focus on finishing work rather than starting new tasks. 3. **Explicit process rules** All agreements, the criteria for "done", the order of handing off tasks, priorities, are recorded and understood by everyone. There are no hidden expectations or ambiguous requirements. 4. **Metrics and data (cycle time, CFD)** Measurements are transparent: it is visible how many tasks are completed, where the delays are, and how throughput changes. Decisions are made based on facts, not guesses. 5. **Continuous feedback** Regular discussions and flow analysis allow the team to openly talk about problems and improvements. --- ### Conclusion Kanban makes the process "transparent all the way through": **everything is visible, from priorities to problems**. Thanks to visualization, limits, and clear rules, the team works consciously, without surprises or hidden bottlenecks.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
