Thanks for your answer. I have a question: If the bussines analist has a card in the "analysis" column, how the developer knows when to pull it from this column? Maybe we can divide the column in 3 sub-columns (queue, work in progress, done) and when the card is on the "done" sub-column of analysis, the developer knows that he can pull it Any thougst? agustin.villena at gmail dot com Hi Derick!

Thanks for your answer.

For example, if a business analyst is working on the "Analysis" column and finishes their task, the card will sit in that column until a Developer is ready to pull the card into the Work In Progress / Development column. Your 4 column list is very common for task boards - we started with that same list, a while back, and it grew over time as we recognized specific tasks that needed to be called out. To apply these 4 columns to Kanban, though, I would need to know a lot more about your situation and company. I tried to illustrate some of the principles and rules for creating a kanban board in this article, talking about queues and pipelines, handling for bottlenecks, etc. Think about your own company and team, what bottlenecks you have (if any), and see what you can come up with. I am planning on several more articles in my Adventures In Lean series, as well. Some of your questions may be answered in later articles. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, though, feel free to contact me via the "Contact" link in the upper right hand corner, and we can talk via email. @Agustin

I'm really puzzled about how the people involved in the project interacts with the cards and, specially, what role has the right to move one card form a column to another one?. I'm acustommed to the scrum task board, where the product owner puts the cards in the first column (in "not started" state), from which the develoers pulls them to the "work in progress" column-state and then to the "validate" state, where the product owner has the right to take the card and put it in the "done" column IF the feature was validated. Can you give a similar example that works in this particular kanban board? Thanks! Agustin I read with interest your articles about Kanban
