The Kanban method is a disciplined way to improve the organization continuously where the starting point is its current state. It has important economic advantages.

 

Kanban doesn't replace your current practice, allowing your organization to still leverage years of investment instead tossing it out to do something radical increases risk and roles are also kept. This soft start makes it easier for stakeholders to agree on pursuing evolutionary change. Through a small set of practices and principles, the Kanban method increases awareness and understanding of the value flow by making it visually evident, such that opportunities for improvement are identified more easily than with other practices. Flow improvement accelerates by limiting the amount of work done at one same time, increasing collaboration, encouraging acts of leadership at all levels of the organization, enhancing communication through explicit policies, and by establishing feedback loops
