Kanban Fundamentals: Boosting Developer Productivity

# Visualize work

The act of making work and policies visible, whether through a wall panel or software applications, is an important collaborative journey to understand the current system and find potential areas for improvement.


Unlike the construction of physical products, inventory is not
visible in knowledge work, it does not take up space, and it is
not accounted for. If we do not visualize work-in-progress, we
will not be able to see the queues or points of improvement in the system.



A Kanban board, such as the one in the image below, is a typical way to visualize work and the process it goes through. For it to be a Kanban system rather than simply a board with stickers, the commitment, and delivery points must be defined, and visual signals (kanbans) must be visible to limit the work in progress at each stage between these points to enable pull.
