Kanban board template

Track tasks from backlog to done, with every column on one canvas.

  1. 01

    One column per status

    Backlog, To do, In progress, Review, and Done each hold their own cards. A short note at the top of each column says what belongs there.

  2. 02

    Drag cards between columns

    Move a card from one column into the next as the work progresses. Cards can hold notes, checklists, links, images, and files.

  3. 03

    Keep the context beside the work

    Put briefs, references, and sketches on the same canvas as the board, so nobody has to ask where something lives.
