A Kanban board is a tool used in project management and workflow organization, particularly in Agile and Lean methodologies. Teams can use it to visualize their work, maximize efficiency, and improve continuously.
It typically consists of several columns representing different stages of the workflow and visualizes their tasks as cards on the board. This allows team members to track the progress of tasks as they move from one stage to another.
After creating a new ConfluPlan board using Kanban, you can start creating a new column or swim lane.
1. When adding a new column
You can click the Create button and choose Column. There will be a modal showing up to help you set it up.
Here, you can add the column’s Name, Description, and even Start and End dates (if they are required in your project).
Then, click Create.
After creating a column for Kanban, you are required to add a swimlane to form a complete board.
You can click the ··· symbol on the column to Edit, Insert 1 more column to the Left/Right, or Delete it.
2. When adding a new swimlane
To create a new swimlane, you can either click Create and choose Swimlane or simply click +Add lane on the Kanban.
3. Adding a new task
You can add a task to the Kanban by clicking Create → choose Task. Or, choose + Add task on a specific column.
Here, you can assign this task to a member, input a Summary, choose a column that this task belongs to, and fill in the description if needed.

💡 Bonus tip: You can always adjust the Kanban board on the fly by dragging and dropping tasks, columns, and swimlanes to your preference. |
