notes from Kanban in Action

- three core principles:
	- visualize
	- limit work-in-progress
	- manage flow

# Visualize
- transparency between team members
- easy-to-understand visuals
- only give *necessary* and *useful* information
	- anything else is a waste to both read and to update

## Kanban board
- should match *actual* process rather than *ideal* process
- queue columns: columns before and after the board with no limit on the number of items
- entry/edit criteria: criteria for items entering/exiting a column of the board

### Work Items
- cards should facilitate decision making
- use color coding to show type of work
- visually identify work that is blocked
- optionally, link the cards to extra documentation using IDs (mostly useful for physical cards)
