How Can I Manage Multiple Projects or Business Functions With Kanban?

Kanban for projects – Most projects and business activities have a ‘flow’ or a ‘process’ (comprising steps or phases) that is used to produce the end-product or service.

At any time, a project or business function can have numerous deliverables in-progress, at different stages of the value stream. Kanban can be used for keeping track of all work-in-progress in a visual and easy-to-understand manner that provides a common or single view of the ‘current state of affairs’ to anyone interested to know (the ‘stakeholders’).
