Unit 2: Planning Strategies

The Kanban Method

How can I organize my planning clearly?

For planning that can be seen at a glance, the so-called "Kanban" was developed. Typically, it works like this: Physically - with sticky notes - or digitally, all the task " chunks" to be done are written on a small card. Then three columns are opened: to do - in progress - done.
In addition, you can also open a column – collection or backlog- in which all tasks are collected that come to mind but should only be completed at a later time.

The cards are then moved from the first to the next column depending on their status, so that you can see the status of your work at a glance.

Tools for this are the Deck function of the cloud of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Cryptpad or Trello. Here is an example of how a Kanban for a seminar paper can look like (here: with Cryptpad):
