02
Set WIP limits mentally
Keep In Progress to three or fewer cards per person. If the column is full, finish something before pulling new work. This prevents context switching.
03
Use labels to classify work
Tag cards as Feature, Bug, Enhancement, or Priority. Labels let you filter the board instantly and spot bottlenecks by work type.
04
Review the board daily
Spend five minutes each morning moving cards that changed status. A current board is a useful board. A stale board is ignored.
01 What is a kanban board?
+
A kanban board is a visual workflow tool that organizes tasks into columns representing stages of work. Cards move left to right as they progress from backlog through completion, giving your team a clear picture of what is in progress and what is blocked.
02 How many columns should a kanban board have?
+
Most teams start with three to five columns. The classic setup is To Do, In Progress, and Done. Add Review or Backlog columns as your process matures. Too many columns create overhead without adding clarity.
03 Can I use this template with a remote team?
+
Yes. Flux boards update in real time via server-sent events. When a teammate moves a card, every connected browser sees the change instantly. No refresh needed, no sync conflicts.
