Kanban board and WIP policy
Visualise flow, policies, work-in-progress limits, and ageing.
Use this tool to
Make flow constraints explicit.
Prepare and use
Agree workflow stages, entry and exit policies, WIP limits, and who can change them; use work items that can be discussed safely.
Privacy
Tool inputs stay in this browser unless you explicitly save them on this device or generate an output. Do not enter information you are not authorised to handle.
Working sequence
- Set the purpose, evidence boundary, accountable owner, and review cadence.
- Complete the fields from current evidence and make assumptions explicit.
- Use the result to support a review conversation, not as an automatic decision.
- Record the resulting action, decision, or next review date with the appropriate owner.
Inputs and method
Complete the fields below with evidence suitable for review. The tool structures the work; professional judgement remains necessary.
- Work item
- Stage
- WIP limit for stage
- Age in current stage (days)Optional. Review ageing with the team; it is not a performance judgement.
- Explicit policy
- Owner role
Fictional learning scenario: Use the labelled fictional example in the online tool as a learning starter; replace it with authorised local evidence.
Review and decision prompt
Where is flow constrained, and should the team finish, unblock, rebalance, or change a policy?
Next action:Use the flow view in replenishment and daily coordination; inspect WIP-limit breaches rather than hiding them.
Common failure mode
A board becomes a status display when WIP limits have no policy or work is moved to make the board look better.
Outputs
Supported outputs are generated from the current validated browser state: csv, xlsx, docx, print. Generated files should be reviewed before sharing or relying on them.

Trust and limits
Work-in-progress limits support learning and are not a substitute for team judgement.
