Kanban is a visual workflow management method used in project management to improve efficiency and productivity. It involves using boards and cards to represent tasks, allowing teams to see the progress of work at a glance. Kanban helps in managing work in progress and identifying bottlenecks, making it a popular choice in Agile software development and other business processes.

Principles of Kanban
