How to Use the KBOKâ„¢ Guide?

The KBOKâ„¢ Guide can serve as both a reference and a knowledge resource for experienced Kanban practitioners, as well as for those in product and service development, including individuals with no prior experience or knowledge of the Kanban approach. The contents are organized for easy reference by the Kanban Team: Product Owner, Kanban Manager, and Kanban Team members.

Kanban is a method that is not meant to be prescriptive, allowing for flexibility in its application. While all the Kanban processes detailed in the KBOKâ„¢ Guide may not be necessary for every Kanban initiative, they should be applied based on the specific needs of the organization, workflow, project, product, and/or team.
