What is a Kanban Board?
A Kanban Board is a visualisation tool that enables you to optimise the flow of your work. It represents a project's story from start to finish, with a physical or digital board comprising of columns and cards. Each column on the board represents a stage in the workflow, and the cards represent tasks.

Why is it Important?
The Kanban Board's visualization of work allows teams to identify any bottlenecks in their process and make necessary changes to improve efficiency. It helps in balancing the workload, reducing waste in terms of time and resources, creating transparency and increasing collaboration.

How Does a Kanban Board Work?
A Kanban Board is designed based on the Kanban Principle which insists 'Start what you finish'. It operates by visually managing work items and workflow, allowing you to limit work in progress in order to prevent overload. New tasks are 'pulled' into the process as teams are ready and have capacity to take on more work.

Kanban Board practice test

A Kanban board is a visual representation of a project's workflow that allows team members to see the status of work items in real-time. It is divided into columns that signify different stages of the work process, such as 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done'. Cards representing tasks or user stories are placed within these columns, and they are moved across the board as they progress through the stages. The Kanban board makes it easy for team members to identify bottlenecks, track progress, and ensure that the workflow remains transparent to all stakeholders.
