Kanban Board
A Kanban board shows the real steps that work moves through. Cards represent work, and WIP limits prevent too many starts.
Another example
A team pulls one ready card into Doing only when that column has space.
Main parts
- 01Real workflow
- 02Work cards
- 03Work-in-progress limit
- 04Blocked state
- 05Pull rule
Use it when
Use it when a team needs to see flow, blocked work, and current capacity together.
Do not use it when
Moving cards is not enough. Show the actual workflow rules and do not hide blocked work.
Name used in code
workflow columns + work cards + WIP limits + pull policy Before you ship
Before release, check the page structure, keyboard access, visible focus, contrast, and zoom. Also check loading, empty, error, success, cancel, and reduced-motion states.
Outcome: Use Kanban Board to solve this user need without losing the current context. User context: A team pulls one ready card into Doing only when that column has space. Recommended pattern: Kanban Board. Why it fits: Use it when a team needs to see flow, blocked work, and current capacity together. Do not use it when: Moving cards is not enough. Show the actual workflow rules and do not hide blocked work. Product requirements: Define the default, loading, empty, error, success, and recovery states. Keep user input. Give clear feedback after every action. Accessibility and resilience: Use semantic HTML, full keyboard access, and visible focus. Make the layout work when zoomed and support reduced motion. Follow the project’s current rules. Do not add a new UI library unless the project already uses it. Acceptance criteria: The main task works with keyboard only and at 320px width. Focus and status changes are announced. Check loading, failure, retry, cancel, and reduced-motion paths. Evidence and limits (evidence boundary): It is official for that source. Other platforms or teams may use the term in another way. Unknowns to confirm: Product wording, data source, analytics events, supported devices and languages, and platform limits.
