Tiivistelmä
The use of Agile software development has increased in a significant way the recent years. The Agile methodologies can be much more efficient in comparison than classic methods. One of the most useful Agile practices is Kanban.
The main goal of this thesis is to go deep into the Kanban practices, finding out and understanding the Kanban capabilities that can provide a better project management. Apart from the study, an Open Source web oriented Kanban tool has been developed to understand Kanban in a closer way. The tool is called KanBoard and it can be very useful towards students and small development teams.
The thesis is divided into two parts. In the bibliographic part, Agile software methodologies are introduced, studied, compared and evaluated. In the other part, the tool implemented is detailed together with the purpose, the features and its evaluation.
