Kanban boards are an easy solution to common project management difficulties, such as inefficient flow of work, no insight into a process, or lack of accountability for completed tasks. A Kanban board splits a process visually into stages, e.g. to do - doing - review - done, making the process easy to follow, and clearly showing current status
of every single task. Sounds too simple to be able to make a difference? In fact, it is exactly Kanban's simplicity,
that has enabled the method's success in recent 10-15 years.
To be able to use a Kanban board, you only need to know a few basic things:
Split a board into columns matching your work stages. Most people base this on completion state, using phases like undone, waiting
for approval, in progress, in review, done or in monitoring. Others choose to base their board columns on a time frame - as in some day, this month, this week, today etc. And some create workflow stages based on certain events, for instance: non-approved, approved, consulted with client, worked on, being re-done and completed.
Thanks to Kanban's low initial requirements, how work stages are defined is entirely up to you.
