The Kanban Framework is a visual workflow management tool that has been gaining a lot of traction in several industries due to its user-friendly interface and its ability to visualise pending, in progress and completed tasks. Kanban is a Japanese word for “visual signal”. The framework was initially designed to help software developers visualise pending tasks and help them prioritise and manage complex project workflows but due to its intuitive design, the framework was quickly adopted across marketing, banking, healthcare and even engineering sectors. Due to the visual nature of the framework, teams can easily see the overall status of a project at any given time. The framework also enables employees to practise cross-collaboration since tasks can be assigned to various departments within the organisation. According to research companies using kanban report up to a 50% increase in team efficiency due to better workflow visualisation, task prioritisation and bottleneck reduction. This is thanks to the framework’s emphasis on tracking and accountability which makes project tasks much easier to monitor and improve. And that is exactly what this course will teach you to do.
