Information dimensions


Our recommendation is not to jump immediately into creating a Kanban board that looks just like the ones you have seen somewhere else. If so, all the work done last week will be wasted. Instead, take the results from your workshops and write down a list of things you think will be important to visualize and have easy access to. Let's call them "information dimensions". Examples of information dimensions are as follows:

  • Status

  • Priority

  • Classes of service

  • What to do

  • Who's working on it

  • Customer/origin

  • Request owner

  • When is it expected to be done

  • Estimated size

  • Test environment

What information should be shown is very context-dependent. Please take some time to figure out what kind of information is important to visualize for you.
