Kanban is a Japanese word meaning visual signal.
Kanban Methodology is a work management system having maximum efficiency. Since we are working in a software testing service industry our work may not be always visible and tangible. In that case we can use the Kanban method.
- You can better understand the Kanban board.
- We can show it to others and they can evaluate our workflow.
- We can keep all the project teams on the same page.
- Increased flexibility.
- Efficient workflow management.
It is the visual key describing what to produce, how much to produce and when to produce. In the software developing and testing field this kanban board is much necessary. The Kanban method allows you to check that no one is taking shortcuts and does not complete the task. This allows us to find the reason for the formation of bottleneck. We can also solve it quickly by using this.
The main features of the kanban board in Kanban Methodology is that:
Kanban board:
Kanban board is that in which we can create different cards based on the project. After completing that specific work, we can move it to other card. It contains to do, in progress and done.
Kanban cards:
Kanban cards contain all the issues related to that project. We can list it as open issues, in progress, suggestions, completed tasks, reopened issues, etc.. It is customizable, we can make it in accordance with our desire. Here team members can track the work flow. This feature with the screenshots and other attachments needed by the developer. We can assign specific cards to the worker in that particular project.
WIP limit:
Here in the WIP (ie work in progress) limit page we can set the limit in the working. For example, “in progress” the number of cards in that particular list can be set into a specific number so that that particular module or software testing can be completed in a specific period of time.
Main examples of the kanban board are Jira and Trello.
In a way that provides the workers with peace of mind. They will have awareness of the issues and the task that needs to be completed earlier. They can schedule the work accordingly. Another important feature of the kanban board is that task completion. We can complete specific tasks on the already decided date to ensure that we deliver the project on the specified date. Kanban board contains dashboard. This dashboard visualizes the work flow in the form of graphs, pie charts etc.. Kanban boards inspire confidence among the workers. On completing the work they will be confident that they are able to complete a particular task on a date. Looking at the board that they have completed will motivate them. Looking at the kanban boards easily helps understand the workflow of that specific project.
Feedback loop
In the feedback loop the review can be given by any of the team members and review can be discussed on decided days, like quarterly, weekly, monthly etc.. A daily review can be set so that simple things can be noticed on that specific day and can be cleared on a daily basis. During monthly review days, we can discuss the importance and any types of risks that can be checked.
