The term Kanban comes from the Japanese and means signal card. The method was developed in the 1940s by Taiichi Ohno for Toyota and was originally intended to reduce inventories and optimise production processes as part of lean management. As the Kanban method has many advantages, it was quickly adapted to be used also in other areas, such as project management.
With the help of a Kanban board, classic to-do lists are optimised in project management so that they are displayed more clearly. In addition planning, monitoring as well as controlling is simplified. More information
