What is Kanban? - Agile Coach (2019)

In this video, we’ll give you background on how the kanban methodology was developed, what its core principles are, and how it could benefit your team.

We'll also show you how you can get started with kanban yourself.

We’ll bring you step-by-step through the process of creating and managing a kanban board, a project management tool that uses cards and columns to compose a visual "workflow." Then, we’ll cover how to fill that board with kanban cards, which are visual artifacts that represent different work items. Finally, we’ll show you how to set up work in progress limits to maximize your team’s efficiency.

By the end of this video, you should be equipped with all of the fundamentals you’ll need to start using kanban to improve your team’s work.

Honestly, I watched a lot of videos and this is the best and most classy explanation of Kanban. You did really well! Thank you.

Didn't expect it to be so straightforward. The principles of Kanban and Agile have been around for decades, originating in Japanese manufacturing. It's honestly mind blowing that 'Agile' is sometimes considered this new revolutionary way of delivering a project when it's derived from Lean methodology. Only difference is Agile caters to streamlining a software development process rather than a manufacturing process. JIRA just visualizes a methodology and practice that has existed since Toyota first implemented these concepts in the 40's. Surprised no one thought of this before.

This is a golden textbook example of how an educational video in general and on Kanban specifically, should be made. Nice work! :)

[paulatherton]

For an absolute novice this was a brilliant explanation. Thank you

1:43 (ish) "It's on the team to make kanban work for you" i.e. it's not a magical lantern you rub to make magical things happen. It's a tool that can be used effectively by certain-minded people. Good stuff right there.

The 3:55 - 4:08 part is a really, really good point.
Thank you for this video!

[shibinkumar]

A very simple so easy to understand that you immediately relate it to tasks that you have initiated and completed and you didnt realise you did implement Kanban. Ofcourse the scale of this will differ from task to task. Thank you Max
