## Intro
Improve your daily workflow with this
[LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/) Calc spreadsheet using the
concepts of [Personal Kanban](http://personalkanban.com/pk/) and
applying some [Kanban
method](https://leankanban.com/project/what-is-km/) flow metrics as
described in the book [Actionable Agile Metrics for
Predictability](https://leanpub.com/actionableagilemetrics) (and
compatible with [Actionable Agile™
Analytics](https://www.actionableagile.com/) tool) by Dan Vacanti.

### Visualize your work
The project contains PDF and ODG (LibreOffice Draw) versions of an
[A3 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216) printable kanban
board with **Backlog**, **Next**, **In-progress** and **Done** columns.
Feel free to print and use it to visualize your workflow and work items!

### Limit your work-in-progress
On top of **Next** and **In-progress** columns of the board (above),
there is a specific **WIP** area inside which you can write the WIP
limit for such columns: remember to write the limit in both columns, to
be sure to properly apply Kanban method concepts and obtain real
improvements.
