Kanban tool FAQs

What is the Kanban tool used for?

Use a Kanban board whenever you need to increase your production efficiency. The Kanban tool is visual, so it’s easy to keep track of tasks, streamline workflows, and identify dependencies. Many high-performing teams adopt the Kanban method, which helps them simplify processes and deliver faster.

What are the benefits of the Kanban board?

Kanban boards help teams deliver projects faster, simplifying workflows and making it easy for project managers to assign tasks, spot blockers, and track progress. Supercharge your Kanban method with Miro’s features, such as cards, stickies, and integrations. Communicate faster and anticipate roadblocks bringing agility to every team.

What are the three elements of the Kanban framework?

The default Kanban framework has three steps: To-do, in progress, and done. It’s important to assess with your team what workflow makes more sense and edit the Kanban steps accordingly. Usually, when a task is added to the to-do list, it’s considered active and taken into account when the manager calculates Lead time. In-progress tasks are the ones currently being worked on and then moved to ‘done’ when they have been delivered and completed.

Can I integrate Miro's Kanban boards with other project management tools?

Yes — Miro plays well with the tools your team already uses. Through native integrations and third-party connectors, you can sync Miro's Kanban boards with platforms like Jira, Asana, Azure DevOps, Monday.com, and Trello. This means tasks created or updated in Miro can automatically reflect in your project management system, keeping everything in sync without double entry. For example, engineering teams often use Miro for sprint planning and backlog refinement, then sync cards directly to Jira for execution tracking. These integrations help bridge the gap between strategic planning and tactical execution — all while keeping your team in their flow.

How does Miro's Kanban board compare to other tools like Asana or Trello?

Miro takes Kanban beyond basic task tracking by embedding it within an AI-powered innovation workspace. While tools like Asana and Trello excel at structured task management, Miro gives teams the space to brainstorm, plan, prototype, and execute — all on one shared canvas. In Miro, your Kanban board isn't isolated. You can map out user journeys next to your sprint board, sketch wireframes alongside feature cards, or run retrospectives without switching tools. For teams managing complex, cross-functional work that requires both structure and flexibility, Miro delivers what rigid project management tools can't — a workspace where innovation and execution flow together.

Does Miro offer Kanban templates for different industries or use cases?

Absolutely. Miro's template library includes dozens of Kanban board templates tailored to specific workflows, industries, and team types. You'll find templates for software development (sprint planning, bug tracking), marketing (campaign management, content calendars), product management (roadmap planning, release tracking), operations (process improvement, hiring pipelines), and general project management. Each template is customizable, so you can adapt columns, labels, and card structures to match your team's unique process. And if you can't find exactly what you need, Miro AI can generate a custom Kanban board based on your description — saving hours of setup time.

Can multiple teams collaborate on the same Kanban board in real-time?

Yes, real-time collaboration is at the heart of Miro. Multiple team members can work on the same Kanban board simultaneously, moving cards, adding comments, updating task details, and making decisions together. You'll see cursors and changes appear instantly, just like you're all standing around the same physical board. Miro also supports asynchronous collaboration for distributed teams across time zones. Leave comments, tag teammates, record video messages, and use voting features to gather feedback even when you're not online at the same time. With granular sharing controls, you can invite external stakeholders to view or edit specific boards without giving access to your entire workspace.

What integrations does Miro offer for Kanban boards?

Miro connects with 100+ tools through native integrations, APIs, and third-party platforms like Zapier. For Kanban workflows specifically, key integrations include project management tools (Jira, Asana, Azure DevOps, Monday.com, Trello), communication platforms (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom), documentation tools (Confluence, Notion, Google Docs), development systems (GitHub, GitLab), and automation platforms (Zapier, Make). These integrations let you pull data into Miro for visualization, push updates back to your execution tools, and automate repetitive workflows — keeping your Kanban board the single source of truth while your team stays in their preferred tools.

How can Miro's community help me get more out of Kanban boards?

Miro's global community of 100M+ users includes thousands of teams who've refined Kanban workflows across every industry.

Can I customize Miro's Kanban board to match my team's workflow?

Completely. Miro's Kanban boards adapt to how your team actually works — not the other way around. Add as many columns as you need, customize card layouts with custom fields for priority, assignee, due dates, or effort estimates, and use color-coding, labels, and tags to create visual signals that help your team scan the board at a glance. For advanced customization, use Miro's Smart Grid feature to automatically align cards, apply conditional formatting, or integrate data from external systems like Jira or Airtable to keep your board in sync with execution tools.

Can I export or archive Kanban boards from Miro?

Yes. Miro lets you export boards in multiple formats including PDF (for presentations or documentation), images (PNG, JPG for reports), CSV (card data for spreadsheet analysis), and embed code (interactive, view-only versions for websites). For archiving, Enterprise Plan customers can set retention policies to automatically preserve boards according to compliance requirements. Boards can also be moved to dedicated archive teams, keeping your active workspace clean while maintaining a record of completed projects.
