- alistairSH 9y agoYeah, Kanban is an implementation of this concept. But, you could do it without calling yourself kanban or using any kanban tools.

- alistairSH 9y agoYeah, the software process was developed from the Japanese manufacturing processes (which use kanban cards as singals in their inventory systems). The basic concept is the same - minimize wasteful work in progress. In manufacturing, this is excess inventory at any point in the production pipeline. In software, this is excess tasks in a state of partial completion.

The reality of “projects” is that they are always interrupted by other high-priority items, and months later everyone asks why it’s late and over budget.
