Promote Transparency: Explaining the importance of the kanban board in increasing transparency helps the executive understand its value in tracking progress and identifying bottlenecks.
Facilitate Team Efficiency: The kanban board is a critical tool for the team to visualize their workflow, manage tasks, and ensure that work is completed efficiently.
Enhance Communication: By highlighting how the kanban board improves communication and collaboration within the team, the project manager can address the executive's concerns constructively.
Support Agile Practices: Transparency and visibility are key principles of agile methodologies. The kanban board supports these principles by making work visible to all stakeholders.
