Kanban Board
Definition
A Kanban Board is a visual tool used in project management to track tasks through different stages, such as 'To Do', 'Doing', and 'Done'. It helps teams visualize work progress and manage tasks more efficiently.
Where you’ll find it
In the Business platform, you can find the Kanban Board under the project management or task management section. It is available across all templates and plans that support project management features.
Common use cases
- Task tracking: This tool helps monitor the progress of individual tasks as they move through different stages of completion.

- Team collaboration: This feature enables team members to see updates in real-time, fostering better communication and coordination.
Things to watch out for
- Overcomplication: Avoid adding too many columns or categories, as it can make the board cluttered and hard to use.
