About the Kanban Framework template
The Kanban Framework template brings clarity to your workflow. It’s a simple but powerful visual system for seeing how work flows from start to finish. By mapping out your process on a shared board, everyone on the team gets a single, real-time view of what’s being worked on, what’s up next, and where things are getting stuck.
How to use the Kanban Framework template
Set up your workflow. The template comes with 'To Do', 'Doing', and 'Done' columns. Customize them to match how your team works, such as adding 'In Review' or 'Ready to Launch' stages.
Add your tasks. Fill the 'To Do' column with cards for each task. Add details like owners, deadlines, and priority levels to keep everything organized.
Track progress visually. Drag a card to the 'Doing' column when work begins. This simple act makes progress visible to everyone on the team.
Focus by limiting work in progress (WIP). Agree as a team on the maximum number of cards allowed in the 'Doing' column. This rule prevents overload and helps everyone focus on finishing tasks.
Why use the Kanban Framework template?
Create a single source of truth. The Kanban board gives everyone immediate, transparent access to project status, reducing the need for status meetings.
Identify and resolve bottlenecks. When cards pile up in one stage, you've found a bottleneck. This helps your team address problems and keep work flowing.
Boost team focus and productivity. By preventing multitasking, WIP limits help your team reduce context-switching and deliver high-quality work more consistently.
Build a culture of continuous improvement. Your board provides data for retrospectives, allowing you to analyze and improve your workflow over time.
