Kanban is a popular methodology of Japanese origin, implemented in agile teams all over the world. In very general terms, Kanban is a visual tool to represent tasks by their state of completion. These states are “Not Started”, for tasks that you haven’t even started to think about, “Waiting” for tasks that can be started as soon as the ones “In Progress” are finished, “Completed”, and “Deferred”.

Change a task’s completion status

The Kanban methodology allows you to divide tasks by their status of completion.
