The main idea is to see **what stage each task is at** and avoid overloading the team. --- ### How it works All tasks are displayed on a **Kanban board**, divided into stages (for example: *To Do → In Progress → Review → Done*). Each card is a separate task, and moving a card across the board reflects its progress. --- ### Main principles 1. **Visualize the work** - so the whole process is transparent. 2. **Limit WIP (Work In Progress)** - don't take on new tasks until the old ones are finished. 3. **Measure the flow** - track how long tasks take to move through (*cycle time*). 4. **Continuously improve the process** - analyze where work "gets stuck". --- ### Why it's used - increases the transparency and manageability of processes; - helps balance workload; - reduces task completion time; - fits support, DevOps, and continuous projects without sprints. --- ### Conclusion **Kanban** is a flexible system that makes the process visible, the flow stable, and the team effective. Its goal is not speed but **a steady, predictable rhythm of delivering value**.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator. Helps review go faster.
