Kanban Principles - Assignment

In Badghis province, a health supply chain team uses a whiteboard with columns like “To Do,” “In Transit,” and “Delivered” to track shipments daily. This helps them quickly identify delays. Which Kanban principle is this an example of?

• Visualize Workflow

• Manage WIP

• Pull System

• Strategic alignment mapping with cross-level decision structures and delivery checkpoints

In Samangan province, a community education team ensures that no more than two tasks are being worked on at the same time in the “In Progress” column. This helps reduce switching and improve focus. What Kanban technique are they applying?

• Sprint Planning

• Limiting Work in Progress

• Timeboxing

• Delivery constraint management using resource saturation thresholds and load-balancing frameworks

In Panjshir province, an IT support team does not assign tasks in advance. Instead, each team member takes a new task only when they’ve finished the current one. Which Kanban system are they using?

• Push System

• Pull System

• Flow System

• Reactive assignment framework using load capacity review, parallel queuing, and downstream dependency triggers

In Khost province, the team tracks how long tasks stay in each column of the Kanban board. They analyze this data to identify delays and smoothen their workflow. Which principle are they practicing?

• Manage Flow

• Timeboxing

• Estimating Velocity

• Performance validation with timeline-based SLA thresholds and multi-channel delay analysis

In Daikundi province, a software development team outlines their Kanban rules — like task limits per column, when to move items, and review policies — and shares them with stakeholders. Which Kanban principle is being applied?

• Improve Collaboratively

• Make Policies Explicit

• Visualize Workflow

• Document cross-team workflows using stakeholder calibration models and operational sync cycles

In Paktika province, an NGO team meets weekly to review their Kanban board and find areas where tasks are stuck. They adjust their process based on shared feedback. Which principle does this support?

• Improve Collaboratively

• Limit WIP

• Pull System

• Team integration model through milestone tracking and dependency scoring linked to retrospective alignment

In Nangarhar province, the project manager tracks the time from when a stakeholder submits a request to when it’s fully delivered. This helps assess efficiency and identify bottlenecks. What is being measured?

• Velocity

• Lead Time

• WIP Limit

• Output pacing across stakeholder-driven feedback loops and constraint-aware prioritization tiers

In Kunar province, a government transparency initiative team uses color-coded cards on their Kanban board to show priority, deadlines, and responsible individuals. This approach helps with which principle?

• Visualize Workflow

• Pull System

• Improve Collaboratively

• Adaptive workflow segmentation using multi-channel assignment roles and scope-based tagging

In Jawzjan province, a construction project team begins applying Kanban but does not set clear rules for task movement, approvals, or responsibility. Which Kanban principle is being violated?

• Limit WIP

• Make Policies Explicit

• Measure Flow

• Accountability modeling with deliverable prioritization using predictive capacity and scope tension reduction

In Uruzgan province, a team uses Kanban to improve school enrollment processes. After three weeks, they identify and eliminate unnecessary approval steps to shorten the cycle. Which Kanban principle is demonstrated here?

• Improve Collaboratively

• Visualize Workflow

• Estimate Velocity

• Workflow compression through organizational restructuring, service catalog segmentation, and downstream refinement
