It helps the team see the whole process "on one page" and quickly find bottlenecks. --- ### Board structure A classic Kanban board is divided into **columns that reflect the stages of work**. For example: > **To Do -> In Progress -> Review -> Done** Each task is a **card** that moves left to right until it is completed. --- ### Main elements 1. **Cards (Tasks)** - specific tasks or user stories. They carry a description, priority, assignee, and due date. 2. **Columns (Workflow stages)** - the steps of the process. The team defines their structure based on the specifics of the work. 3. **WIP limits (Work In Progress)** - a cap on the number of tasks in a column. Helps avoid overload and focus on finishing work rather than starting it. 4. **Colors and labels** - visually highlight priority, task type, or team. --- ### Advantages - transparency: it is visible where tasks get stuck; - manageability: it is easy to assess the team's workload; - flexibility: priorities can be changed without disrupting the process. --- ### Conclusion **A Kanban board** is a visual map of current work. It makes the process transparent, helps the team stay in sync, and maintains a **steady, sustainable flow of tasks**.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
