Kanban limits work in progress by giving you a set number of slots in each of a few development stages. Eg: 4 slots in the "development" stage means that only 4 things can be developed at a time. To start development on another task, you need to finish development on one of your existing tasks and move it to the next stage (if there&#39;s room).<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Anyway, it&#39;s an interesting concept that may not be immediately applicable to the work that we&#39;re all doing, but it&#39;s definitely something to be aware of.<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">-Adam<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">_______________________________________________<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">ImageJ-devel mailing list<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><a href="mailto:ImageJ-devel@imagejdev.org">ImageJ-devel@imagejdev.org</a><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><a href="http://imagejdev.org/mailman/listinfo/imagej-devel">http://imagejdev.org/mailman/listinfo/imagej-devel</a><br></blockquote><br>--<br>Kevin W.
