That is why we included an introductory metaphor (KanBahn) to help people connect to the concept. Our hope is that this guide provides an easy entry into the vast Kanban body of knowledge.  \nFor alumni of Kanban University classes for instance who want to review certain aspects, we recommend the“Essential Kanban Condensed” e-book as a reference.  \nWhat is Kanban?  \nMaybe the simplest way to put it is: With Kanban, you can manage work. It is a method to manage all types of professional services, also referred to as knowledge work.  \nUsing the Kanban method means applying a holistic way of thinking about your services with a focus on improving them from your customers’ perspective.  \nWith the Kanban Method, you visualize invisible knowledge work and how it moves through a workflow.  \nThis helps to effectively operate your business, including understanding and managing risks in delivering your services to the customers. With Kanban, you and your business will develop an adaptive capability over time to respond better and faster to changes in  \nyour customers’ needs and expectations or within your business environment.  \nKanban is widely known for usage within teams, to relieve overburdening and to (re-)gain control over the work done by the team. While this usually brings quick benefits, applying the Kanban Method at a greater scale, e.g., for a line of service usually encompassing the work of multiple teams or different parts of organizations, brings even greater opportunitie–––s. Used with a service focus in mind, Kanban is an effective organizational development tool.  \nKanban University ([www.kanban.university](www.kanban.university)) is “Home” of the method and the global community of Kanban trainers, coaches and consultants who continue to evolve the method and develop its related body of knowledge.  \nCopyright © Mauvius Group Inc. 2022.

In software engineering a methodology is a process definition approach to software development and project management (a bit of a misnomer, as “methodology” should mean “the study of methods”). Methodologies contain prescriptive, defined workflows and processes, including roles, and responsibilities. This means that they are usually specific to a domain, such as software development.  \nA process framework on the other hand is an incomplete methodology – a set of scaffolding that is intended to have broader applicability but requires customization for each context in order to fill in the missing gaps.  \nKanban is not a methodology nor a process framework. Rather, it is a management method or approach that should be applied to an existing process or way of working.
