Kanban - CI/CD Glossary Definition
Kanban is a flow-based method that visualizes work on a board, limits work in progress, and pulls new items only as capacity frees up, optimizing for continuous flow rather than fixed iterations.
Why it matters
Kanban measures cycle time and throughput rather than sprint velocity, which pairs naturally with continuous deployment where work flows to production as soon as it is ready.
