I have been using Scrum and Kanban for a while now and have been finding them very useful. In fact, I like it so much that I am even practicing it on a personal level. Where I picked up the idea of Personal Kanban is from Jim Benson, an Expert in Personal Kanban. He states this:
Unlike other personal productivity tools, Personal Kanban is a pattern – it is not an edict. You can mold it into whatever shape or form works best for you at the time. Personal Kanban is also scalable – it can work with just you, or with your family, or even with work groups.
There are only two real rules with Personal Kanban:
1. Visualize your work
2. Limit your work-in-progress
It’s just that simple. After you’ve used this “introductory’ kanban for a little while, your understanding of the nature of you work will evolve. As it does, your kanban will likewise evolve.

You can really formulate some great ideas from such simple beginnings. My hat goes off to Jim!

Lean Definition of Kanban: Kanban is a method of only releasing parts as needed through the process. A card must be given to the preceding event before that phase can start.
