Summary


We discussed the basic concepts of Kanban process. We covered the differences between the push and pull model to deliver the business value.

We created Kanban board in GreenHopper to get started with the Kanban board. We added separate statuses and columns on the Kanban board to map to the Kanban team requirements which allows prioritizing the items to put in queue.

We covered each column constraint to control the flow of work in each state and to visualize the same if column limits for work exceeds.

We also covered the prioritization of items on the Kanban board and to generate different reporting for your Kanban team.
