Kanbantyönkulkua

Kanbantyönkulkua is a Finnish term that translates to "Kanban workflow" or "Kanban flow." It refers to the application of the Kanban method within a workflow context. Kanban is a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process. It originated in manufacturing but has been widely adopted in software development, project management, and various other fields.

In a kanbantyönkulkua, visual boards are used to represent the different stages of a workflow. Tasks, often represented by cards, move through these stages from left to right. Columns on the board typically represent steps like "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done." The goal is to visualize the flow of work, identify bottlenecks, and improve efficiency by limiting the amount of work in progress (WIP).

The core principles of kanbantyönkulkua include visualizing the workflow, limiting WIP, managing flow, making policies explicit, implementing feedback loops, and improving collaboratively. By adhering to these principles, teams can gain better visibility into their work, reduce lead times, and increase predictability. The emphasis is on continuous improvement and adapting the workflow based on observations and data. It's a flexible approach that can be tailored to the specific needs of any team or organization.
