1. Customer: A new request arrives
2. The Kanban board: It goes into the backlog
3. The team: Is there room in "In progress" (the WIP limit)?
4. The team: Pull the next card
5. The team: Work on it
6. The team: Is it blocked?
7. Team lead: Flag it and swarm to unblock it
8. The team: Move it to review
9. The team: Did review pass?
10. Customer: Done and delivered
11. Team lead: Measure cycle time and look for the bottleneck
12. The team: Back to in progress
13. The team: Finish something first: stop starting, start finishing
14. The team: Help clear a blocked card
