How to Effectively Use Kanban

Workflow

Team can move cards around columns. Each column represents a different stage in the workflow, such as Backlog, In Progress, and Done

Add tasks, bugs, or user stories to the backlog

In the Backlog column, you can add tasks, bugs, or user stories. You can also add details about each item, such as the due date, priority, and assignee

When you are ready to start working on an item, select it from the backlog and move it to the In Progress column

Track your progress
