This module will cover the fundamentals of Kanban and how to improve our Scrum practice, along with the process of designing a Kanban system.

Software Development Methodologies

This module will introduce us to Kanban fundamentals. We will begin by studying the origins of Kanban as a method for designing and improving work knowledge. Later in the module, we will learn the core practices of Kanban for designing a Kanban system at the team level successfully. Then, we will learn how to use Kanban to improve our Scrum practice. By the end of the module, we'll be able to design a Kanban system.

Kanban Fundamentals: Boosting Developers Productivity

## The core Kanban practices

As we have seen, Kanban uses six fundamental practices to achieve improved agility. These practices should be applied, reviewed, and continuously improved.
1. **Visualize**
2. **Limit work-in-progress**
3. **Manage flow**
4. **Make policies explicit**
5. **Implement feedback loops**
6. **Improve collaboratively and evolve experimentally**

You should understand and focus on your customers' needs and expectations and design a Kanban system that represents how your team is working to manage the work and let people self-organize around it.
The Kanban system will be providing continuous feedback and signals that can be used to improve your delivery capability.
