I decided to test the Kanban tool to see if it is really powerful. This tool has two core rules:

  • Visualize your work (imagine what you need to do to accomplish that goal)
  • Limit your work in progress (this is very important, because our mind can’t focus when you are doing a lot of tasks at the same time)
To do this experiment I build a “Kanban board” with three columns (which you can see at the bottom of this post):
  • Backlog: All tasks that I need to do
  • Doing (3): Tasks that I am doing, with a limit of 3 at the same time
  • Done: Completed tasks
I am going to document this experience here and do a little balance each week to see if this really works.
