Kanban Dashboards - how useful are these?

One of the many challenges, in software development projects, is clearing out a large backlog of design and application code fixes. The challenge that goes with it is of "tracking work in progress"...both for individuals actually doing the design or code and for managers tracking 'em. In search of methods, especially used in Agile environments, I came across Kanban dashboards. I might have briefly written about kanban sometime ago.
Disclaimer: I am not sure if "Kanban boards" are regarded as best - however, it looked quite useful to me. I cannot 'advocate' using it. I am just 'aware' that it exist.

I wonder if you could make use of it at all within your development projects. All you need is a white board or a wall paper and sets of post-it notes. (No, I don't have 3M shares).
This might help as a reading too - http://www.infoq.com/articles/agile-kanban-boards
Please let me know, how you found using it.
