The Kanban board is a tool used to visually present a workflow, designed to help you bring clarity to your work process and improve efficiency by limiting work in progress.
The Kanban board is not for everyone's use. For some projects, the task board is sufficient for identifying tasks required, ticking them off as you go and registering hours against those tasks. Kanban boards are typically applied for agile project management such as software development, engineering and product development, support teams, QA teams and portfolios.
Kanban boards help you to:
visualize delays and workflow weaknesses.
focus on the work currently at hand.
reduce the need for basic status update meetings.
Both the Kanban and the Project boards can be worked on simultaneously depending on your project's needs. The project board is task list based and related to your contract lines when booking hours, while the Kanban is based on progress lanes.
