Do you often have a lot of tasks in progress and lose track of where you stand?
Kanban has a very simple answer to this problem: Stop starting, Start finishing!
This phrase highlights a situation very common in teams.
We often have many ideas, start many things, open multiple topics in parallel, and in the end, few things actually get completed.
Yet, it’s the finished items that bring value to the product and the customer.
The goal of Kanban is to reduce waste and move work all the way through to completion, delivering it and making it useful and usable.
That’s why Kanban emphasizes limiting work in progress, so you can finish ongoing tasks before starting new ones.
Stopping starting doesn’t mean going slower.
It means choosing to finish, deliver, and create value more often.
And you, what’s the next task you’re going to finish?
