The term Kanban originated in Japane and stands for card, board or document. Developed in 1947 by Taiichi Ohno, the inventor of the Toyota Production System, Kanban is an implementation of the control method in production known as the pull or fetch principle. Kanban is based on a very simple idea: the kanban (or signal card) implies that there is a visual signal that new work can be pulled.
This may not sound very revolutionary. However, it is amazing what a profound impact Kanban can have on the performance of an organization!
Furthermore, Kanban as an agile method stands for evolutionary change management: in small steps (evolutionary) Kanban supports the continuous improvement of existing processes.
Testimonials from all over the world show that Kanban can be used in many different areas: From small agencies and startups to traditional medium-sized companies or larger web platforms to international corporations.
