Wikipedia has a surprisingly good explanation:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kanban" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kanban</a><p>There&#x27;s a link to Toyota&#x27;s site at the bottom, as the inventors, they have plenty of authority on it.<p>Wikipedia has also an article about Kanban in software development. As expected, the introduction does not even make sense, but the methodology section contains a form of continuous improvement, what could work. Also, I could not understand how any of the experiences related on the article could come from the Wiki&#x27;s methodology - it has probably no relation at all with was implemented at the author&#x27;s place.
