Guide to Feedback Loops in Kanban Methodology
Feedback Loops are an integral component in the Kanban Methodology as outlined in the PMI-ACP certification.
What is it?
Feedback loops in Kanban are mechanisms for obtaining and incorporating feedback to continuously improve processes and product quality. These loops include processes such as the daily stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and customer reviews.

Feedback Loops foster continuous improvement and learning by allowing the team to continually assess and adjust their processes and work. It promotes transparency and collaboration, reducing waste, rework, and improving product quality.
How does it work?
The work lifecycle is cyclic, the team organizes work, does it, receives feedback, and adjusts processes and work according to the feedback, starting the loop all over again.
