Kanban is a change management technique that can be adopted and adapted for many hardware development teams.  The key advantages of using Kanban are that it provides a visual overview of what your team is working on, identifies blocking issues and bottlenecks in your workflow, and creates opportunities for your team to proactively discuss and optimize their current processes.  This paper provides an overview of the Kanban methodology and provides some insight into how it can be incorporated into a typical hardware development team's existing management structure.
