This document discusses Kanban, a system for organizing and visualizing work. It begins by explaining some issues with traditional "command and control" management styles. It then introduces Kanban, noting that it was developed to track objects through production streams and empower workers. The key aspects of Kanban are explained as: using a board with columns to represent workflow stages and cards for tasks, setting work-in-process limits to control workload, and implementing continuous improvement. The three basic rules of Kanban - visualize work, limit WIP, and continuously improve - are outlined. Setting up a Kanban system requires only a board, post-its, and markers.
