Lesson: Creating Kanban Boards

What is a Kanban Board?

A Kanban board is a visual tool that helps you manage tasks, projects, and workflows. It consists of columns that represent different stages of a process and cards that represent tasks.

Why Use a Kanban Board?

  • Visibility: See the status of all tasks at a glance.
  • Efficiency: Move tasks through stages to focus on what's important.
  • Collaboration: Team members can easily pick up tasks and know their responsibilities.

How to Create a Kanban Board

  1. Identify Columns: Common columns are 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done'.
  2. Add Tasks: Create cards for each task and place them in the appropriate column.
  3. Prioritize: Arrange cards based on their urgency or importance.
  4. Move Cards: As work progresses, move cards to the next column.

Common Use Patterns

  • Software Development: Use it for agile development.
  • Content Creation: Manage your writing or video production process.
  • Event Planning: Keep track of all the tasks leading up to an event.
