Kanban boards Kanban boards are visual project management tools that enable teams to illustrate their workflow and track the progress of all the tasks in a highly visual and intuitive manner. The board consists of columns representing different stages of the workflow, such as “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Completed.” Each task is represented by a card that moves across the columns as it progresses. One of the key benefits of Kanban boards is that they provide a clear overview of the project’s status and help identify bottlenecks or tasks that require immediate attention. By visualising the workflow, team members can quickly identify which tasks are the highest priority, allocate resources accordingly, and ensure a smooth project flow.
Agile Scrum Agile Scrum is an iterative project management framework emphasising collaboration, adaptability, and frequent delivery of workable increments. Within the Scrum framework, the prioritisation model is a core principle guiding the team’s focus and addressing the highest-value tasks.
Product backlog The product backlog is a prioritised list of all the project tasks, features, or requirements. The product owner, in collaboration with the team, determines the priority of each item based on the project’s goals and stakeholder needs. This prioritisation matrix guides the team’s work for product development during each iteration or sprint.
Sprint planning The team conducts a sprint planning session at the beginning of each sprint. During this meeting, the product owner presents the highest priority items from the product backlog, and the team collectively determines which tasks they will commit to completing within the sprint.
Daily stand-ups These meetings are short, focused gatherings where team members update their progress, discuss any impediments, and align their efforts on a daily basis. These sessions often involve discussing task priorities and identifying any required adjustments to prioritise tasks based on the team’s progress and evolving project needs.
