What does expedite mean?
These are high-priority work items that require immediate attention.
Definition
In Kanban, expedite refers to work items that require immediate attention due to their urgency, often interrupting the normal flow of work.
Board
Teams can use an expedite lane in their Kanban Board to visually separate and prioritize urgent work items, allowing them to be worked on outside the regular process constraints.
Impact
An excess of urgent items can negatively affect the team's delivery capacity.
