Purposedifferent
When work sits in too many parallel streams, throughput suffers and no one sees the bottlenecks. Kanban makes the flow of work visible and limits overload so a system becomes calmer and more predictable.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
