The document presents information on Kanban boards. It discusses the system requirements, limitations of the current system, and what Kanban is and how it works. Kanban is a way to visualize work and identify bottlenecks to improve throughput and quality. It uses a board to represent the state of a project with columns for to-do, in progress, and done work. Kanban aims to limit work-in-progress and minimize waste. The benefits of Kanban include simplicity, reduced inventory, waste and costs while increasing flexibility and output. Potential limitations include difficulty resizing Kanbans with demand changes and lost tags leading to issues.

Limitations of Kanban
3. Requires Java 8 or above.
Requires Spring Framework 5.0.13.RELEASE or above.
Build Tool Maven 3.2+
OS – Windows/Mac/Linux
5. Kanban is a way for teams and organizations to visualize
their work, identify and eliminate bottlenecks and achieve
dramatic operational improvements in terms of throughout
and quality.
Scheduling system used in manufacturing to help
companies to improve their production process.
Work-In-Progress limited pull system which exposes
system problems through visualization
A big board with story cards.
Board represents the state of the project at any point.
Tries to limit the amount of work at any stage.
Aims at minimizing waste.
6. Kanban is a new technique for managing a software
development process in a highly efficient way.
David J. Anderson developed Kanban Method for
software development.
The purpose of Kanban is to continually improve one’s
own work process.
Kanban has been adopted enthusiastically in the IT,
Ops, DevOps and applications/software teams.
The beauty of Kanban is that it can be applied to any
process or methodology.
9. TO DO : Things to do at some time in future, limited
number of selected tasks waiting for some event to
happen.
IN PROGRESS : Limit to keep you from doing too
many things at the same time.
DONE : For the reference and to track your
performance.
10. Start with what you do now.
Agree to pursue incremental, evolutionary change.
Respect the current process, roles, responsibilities
and titles.
Leadership at all levels.
11. Simple to implement, use and improve.
Reduce inventory.
Reduces waste and scrap.
Provides flexibility in production.
Increases output.
Reduces total cost.
12. Keeping the Kanbans resized as demand changes can be
slow and difficult to manage.
Lost of hardcopy tags/forms and Kanban cards leads to
difficult situations.
Utilizing the Kanban system results in less opportunity
to work ahead of schedule placing performance
pressures on staff.
In order to facilitate the logistics process of moving
the materials to other workstations, a well organized
is needed.
