Personal Kanban by Tonianne Demaria

Machines need to be productive, people need to be effective

Personal Kanban asks only that we visualize our work and limit our work-in-progress. Visualizing work allows us to transform our workload into an actionable, context-sensitive flow. Limiting our work-in-progress helps us complete what we start and understand the value of our choices.

Combined, these two simple acts encourage us to improve how we work to balance our personal, professional, and social lives.

Focus on doing better, not doing more

Using the same Lean principles from manufacturing that led the Japanese auto industry to become a global leader in quality, Personal Kanban applies them to individual and team work.

Understand why we do the things we do

Neither a prescription nor a plan, Personal Kanban provides a light, actionable, achievable framework for understanding our work and its context.

Learn why students, parents, business leaders, major corporations, and world governments all see immediate results with Personal Kanban.
