>> If you skip ahead to "Kanban development distilled", there's an image that should give you a good feel for the methodology. 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's room).
