kanban board

A visual board that shows current work and its status so the team can see bottlenecks and overloading and improve the flow of work; often compared to a task board.

Key Points

  • Displays work items across columns such as To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done.
  • Makes work in progress and queues visible so bottlenecks and overcommitment can be detected early.
  • Often uses pull and WIP limits to manage flow and reduce multitasking.
  • May be physical (cards on a wall) or digital, and is updated continuously by the team.

Example

A software team tracks user stories on a board. The Testing column starts piling up, signaling a bottleneck. The team pauses new development, swarms on testing, and sets a WIP limit for Testing to prevent recurrence.
