Kanban method is gaining vast popularity in corporations and businesses around the world as a way to smoothly manage work. Derived from Japanese, "Kanban" is a visual sign used to trigger an action. Kanban cards are shown on a Kanban board to reflect the task status in your unique workflow. An individual Kanban card will move through various stages on the board until it reaches completion.
Kanban relies on the pull method, with which team members pick up new tasks as and when they become available, rather than having a manager push tasks on the team regardless of present capacity.
