Core practices

- [Instructor] There are six core practices…that make up Kanban,…visualize, limit work in progress, manage flow,…make process policies explicit,…implement feedback loops,…and improve collaboratively, evolve exponentially.…Visualizing your project gives you a concrete example…of start with what you do now.…Letting you set the columns of your Kanban board…according to your current development process.…Generally you'll use a value stream or workflow map…to help you during this first step,…both of which we'll take a look at in a later video.…

Limiting work in progress is a fancy way…of giving development teams the opportunity…to set a cap on the number of active work items.…Work items are the units of measurement…used in Kanban, just like user stories are used in scrum.…We'll discuss these in detail in the next few videos.…Limiting work in progress enforces a natural limit…on the teams time, identifying potential bottlenecks…in the development process, and ensuring…that the focus stays on completing what's already…
