SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams implement and manage Kanban methodology, improving workflow visualization, limiting work-in-progress (WIP), and optimizing continuous delivery for faster, more predictable outcomes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Board Setup: Design and configure Kanban boards with explicit policies and WIP limits.
  • Flow Metrics: Calculate and analyze lead time, cycle time, and throughput for continuous improvement.
  • Card Management: Structure Kanban cards with detailed information, class of service, and acceptance criteria.
  • Use Case: Your team is experiencing bottlenecks in the "Review" stage. Use this skill to analyze your Cumulative Flow Diagram, identify the bottleneck, and suggest adjusting the WIP limit for the "Review" column to improve flow.

Quick Start

Use the kanban skill to add a new item to the backlog with title 'Refactor authentication module' and type 'Tech Debt'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Kanban board with WIP limits for my team?▼

Set up a Kanban board by defining workflow stages, establishing explicit policies for each column, and configuring WIP limits to control work-in-progress. This prevents bottlenecks and maintains steady flow across your delivery pipeline.

What are lead time and cycle time, and how do I measure them in a workflow?▼

Lead time measures the interval from when work is requested to delivery; cycle time measures time spent actively working. Calculate both using flow metrics to identify delays, optimize handoffs, and improve predictability in continuous delivery.

How do I identify and fix bottlenecks in my workflow?▼

Analyze your Cumulative Flow Diagram to spot stages where work accumulates. Adjust WIP limits in bottleneck columns and review card policies to restore balance. Flow metrics reveal whether the constraint is capacity or policy.

Can I use Kanban with agile and lean practices?▼

Kanban complements agile and lean methodologies by providing pull-based workflow management, continuous delivery capability, and flow-metric visibility. It works alongside iterative development and waste-reduction principles.

What information should I include on Kanban cards?▼

Structure cards with title, type (feature, bug, tech debt), class of service, acceptance criteria, and priority. Clear card detail ensures consistent handoffs between workflow stages and supports effective WIP enforcement.

How does throughput relate to delivery speed?▼

Throughput is the number of items completed per time period. Higher throughput with stable WIP limits indicates efficient flow; low throughput signals bottlenecks or policy misalignment that limit delivery speed.
