Kanban is a method for limiting work-in-progress (WIP) to avoid excess WIP which can lead to longer lead times, higher chances of requirements changing, and more context switching for developers. The document recommends limiting the number of WIP slots at each workflow state like "In Development" and using the Kanban board to identify and address bottlenecks. While Kanban borrows daily stand-ups from Scrum, it differs in not using time-boxed iterations and instead focusing on reducing lead times which can provide more consistent metrics than Scrum velocity for ongoing work.
