Interactive Kanban — Blending Digital and Physical Resources for Collaborative Project Based Learning

The Role of Agile Teams in the Delivery of Distance Education in Saudi Universities Amid the COVID-19 Crisis: Qualitative Data Analysis

“…Participants further relate the agile principles of incremental and iterative development to contemporary crisis management and mitigating the effects of unfortunate events (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). This is perhaps due to the fact that agile teams don't typically hinge on planning a priori but rather on a cycle of development and deployment that is based on requirements analysis (see, e.g., Bacea et al, 2017). Toward this end, the agile principle of responding to change and feedbacks rather than blindly following a plan is conducive and well-suited for the need for adaptability and managing uncertainty as entailed by the COVID-19 crisis.…”

PDCA 4.0: A New Conceptual Approach for Continuous Improvement in the Industry 4.0 Paradigm

“…More associated with the development and testing of countermeasures, a publication mentions scheduling solutions based on real-time simulations [69]. Regarding implementation activities, multiple publications report developments in task organization through Kanban boards; namely a web-based board [70], a board operated with a smartphone [71], and a computer-aided task board that tracks a physical panel in real-time [72]. Other use cases, such as a highly flexible measurement-aided welding [73] and a safe human-robot collaborative assembly cell based on a CPS [74], were also found.…”

“…For this, MES also plays an important role, as it supports advanced production planning (Gantt charts, for example) and resource allocation [56,57]. This requirement is also present in practical case studies that mention the advantages of digital Kanban boards in terms of its flexibility for visualizing assigned tasks [70][71][72]. As examples, Nakazawa et al [71] developed a digital Kanban board that is controlled by a smartphone, and Bacea et al [72] developed a virtual Kanban board that tracks physical task cards through a camera.…”

These use cases demonstrate the importance of device interconnectivity, relating to the IoT technological concept.…”
