Video description
Kanban is a popular framework used to implement Agile and DevOps software development. It requires real-time communication of capacity and full transparency of work. Work items are represented visually on a Kanban board, allowing team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time.
A Kanban board is an Agile project management tool designed to help visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow).
It can help both Agile and DevOps teams establish order in their daily work. Kanban boards use cards, columns, and continuous improvement to help technology and service teams commit to the right amount of work, and get it done!
This course will help you explore how working on an Agile project using Kanban has benefits for your development team, your end-users, and your organization as a whole.
We will identify various process flow-related issues including too much work-in-progress, underutilization of resources, lengthy tasks, unequal-sized tasks, and so on, using simple and easy-to-understand demonstrations on the Kanban board.
We will not only identify these inefficiencies but also solve them by continuously improving the process flow using the Kanban board.
