DevLog #12 - Kanban

Kanban is a Agile methodology that can visualise work flow in a column separated board. Normally, the Kanban board contains 3 columns such as "Todo", "In progress" and "Completed" to visualise the work flow and cards to represent the tasks of the project. But if you need you can enhance the no of columns as your requirement such as "In QA", "In code review", etc..
It is very useful tool when it comes to handling complex projects because it shows the current status of every tasks to the whole team and it improves the transparency of the project among the team.

In our Agile based project, we have configured a commercial tool called "Jira" to manage our project and it consist with a Kanban board with three columns to manage and visualise work flow.

As my point of view, it will save the lots of status reviewing time of our team mates. Further, team can identify if there is a bottleneck in the workflow analysing the in progress time of tasks. I can reflect that using Kanban board is more easier and useful than using a list of task with textual status.
