Kanban is a tool to organise what work to do and when. It is an important tool for delivering products (be they software, physical products or effective services) "Just In Time".
Tasks are written down as stories. Each story is placed in a bin appropriate to the state of that story. Stories move from one bin to the next when, and only when, the action on that story is completed for the bin. The idea is that "defective products" do not move from one bin to the next, it is this concept that should improve the quality of the products through the production chain.
Simple Kanban was originally written by Stephan Schmidt, who can be found on Twitter http://twitter.com/codemonkeyism, and blogs at http://www.codemonkeyism.com, using JQuery with the DragSort plugin. Persistency to CouchDB and extended editing of stories was added by Simon Metson (@drsm79) and Mike Wallace (@m1ke_wallace).
