Kanban
In plain terms
A visual workflow method that limits work in progress.
Going deeper
Kanban uses a board of columns (to do, doing, done) and caps how many items can be in each stage, exposing bottlenecks and smoothing flow. It's continuous rather than sprint-based.
Under the hood
Pull-based and continuous, with WIP limits exposing bottlenecks; emphasizes flow metrics (cycle time, throughput) over fixed iterations.
Examples
Jira/Trello boards, WIP limits, To Do/Doing/Done columns, support teams.
Think of it like...
Like a kitchen pass with a rule that only three dishes can be cooking at once, so the line never gets overwhelmed.
