Sustainable solutions for every environment

We recommend to follow these steps:

1. Identify the work that will be tracked on the Kanban board. This could be tasks, projects, or anything else that you want to manage and organize.

2. Create columns on the board to represent the different stages of the work. For example, you might have columns for "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done".

3. Create cards for each item of work and place them in the appropriate column on the board. As work progresses, move the cards across the board to reflect the current status of the work.

4. Optional: Consider some space to add the sprint you are currently working in.

5. Optional: Define a goal for the current sprint*

* An example of a sprint goal could be: "Improve the user experience on the shopping cart page by implementing a new design and adding a feature that allows customers to save items for later." This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), which are key characteristics of a good sprint goal. It describes a specific task that the team will work on during the sprint, and it includes a timeline for when the work should be completed. By focusing on a clear goal, the team can work together to ensure that they are making progress and achieving their objectives.

In Kanban, work is typically represented using cards on a board

Each card represents a task or piece of work, and the board is divided into columns that represent the different stages of the work process. As tasks move through the process, they are moved from one column to the next, until they are completed.

One of the key principles of Kanban is to limit the amount of work in progress (WIP). This means that teams should not start new work until they have finished the tasks they are currently working on. This helps to prevent overloading team members and ensures that work is completed efficiently. Kanban can be used in a variety of settings, including software development, manufacturing, and project management. It is a flexible method that can be adapted to fit the needs of different teams and organizations.

Some tips for using a Kanban board effectively include:

• Involving all team members in the process of creating and using the board. This can help to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals.

• Establishing clear definitions for each column on the board. This can help to prevent confusion and ensure that work is moving through the board in a consistent and predictable manner.

• Setting limits on the number of items that can be in each column. This can help to prevent the board from becoming cluttered and can also help to identify bottlenecks in the workflow.

• Regularly reviewing the board and adjusting it as needed to reflect changes in the work or the workflow. This can help to keep the board accurate and useful.
