Kanboard - Kanban Project Management System in Docker

Kanban is a methodology originally developed by Toyota to be more efficient.

There are only two constraints imposed by Kanban:

Visualize your workflow
Limit your work in progress

Visualize your workflow

Your work is displayed on a board so that you have a clear overview of your project
Each column represents a step in your workflow

Limit your work in progress

Encourages focus by avoiding multitasking
Each phase can have work-in-progress limits
Limits help identify bottlenecks
Limits help avoid working on too many tasks at the same time
