This is another popular project management methodology that follows Agile methods for managing projects. It uses a visual method of managing projects as it moves through the process. In this methodology, work items are represented with the help of a Kanban board, as shown in the following diagram, which allows team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time:

Work items denoted by numbers in the preceding diagram are displayed using Kanban cards. In the preceding Kanban board, we can see the current status of all work items. To Do is a list of pending items that are not started yet, whereas In Progress items are those that are under development. The Finished queue shows all of the items that are completed. Kanban uses the following basic principles:

• A visual board for project activities
• Work on limited project activities at a time
• Flow management for activities
• Implementing feedback
• Implementing collaboration between teams

Work items in this methodology can be re-prioritized based on the stakeholders' requirements. Kanban work items are never bound to a specific iteration, so this provides flexibility to developers. Team members collaborate with each other to improve the flow of work in the Kanban board throughout the project. This methodology is best suited for projects with small teams.
