Some of the most challenging projects, jobs, and relationships shape the way we move through life. They force us to grow, toughen up, and—if we’re lucky—walk away with some hard-earned wisdom.

When people say Kanban, they tend to think of a specific set of practices. Whiteboards & sticky notes (both almost universally virtual). Tasks moving through columns that represent workflow. Every now and then, WIP limits even.
