What is Kanban? Kanban is a project management framework that uses a notecard visualization to style cards on a board so team members can easily see where each task or project is in a series of workflow stages.

The Kanban system, invented at Toyota, helped transform the automaker from selling less than three hundred cars a year to one of the largest automakers in the world and making hundreds of billions in revenue as of 2021.

In this video, we’re going to explain Kanban and its origins, how a Kanban Board works, and how you can download and customize a spreadsheet template we created to get started - all under eight minutes. If you want to go straight to the spreadsheet explainer, do so now.

The Kanban system was developed by the industrial engineer Taiichi Ohno at Toyota in the 1950s. The term was popularized in Japan around the 1600s, when the economy took off and Japanese towns were flooded with competing businesses who needed artful signboards to stand out and compete for customers.

This tradition has carried forward to the neon, LED, and 3D billboards that populate Japanese cities today. The best of these signboards communicated their core value in as clear and concise a way as possible.

Ohno’s Kanban system uses signs cards on a sign board to visually show what stage a task is in, and prompt viewers which actions to take next in a process workflow.

In Ohno’s owns words, the system was designed, “to produce only what is needed, when it is needed and in the amount needed.”
