Kanban with Agile
Agile is an iterative approach that focuses on collaboration, customer feedback, and small, rapid releases. Kanban complements Agile by visualizing the workflow, helping to limit work in progress, and facilitating continuous delivery. By incorporating Kanban boards, Agile teams can better manage and prioritize backlog items, track sprint progress, and adapt quickly to change.
Example:
A software development team works on a new feature using Agile. They decide to use Kanban to visualize their workflow. They set up a Kanban board with columns for each step of their Agile process: Backlog, Analysis, Development, Testing, and Deployment. As they start work on the new feature, they pull tasks from the Backlog to Analysis and so forth, ensuring that only a limited number of tasks are in progress at any time.

How can Kanban be Integrated with Other Project Management Methodologies?
Kanban is a visual management tool that helps teams track the flow of tasks or items through various process stages. It uses cards placed on a board to represent individual tasks. Have you ever seen one of those boards filled with colorful sticky notes in an office? That might have been a Kanban board. Originating from the Japanese term meaning “signboard,” it offers a hands-on approach to managing tasks.
