About the Kanban Board template

A Kanban Board visualizes work as cards moving across columns that represent stages of your workflow, from backlog to done. It exposes bottlenecks, limits how much work is in progress at once, and creates a shared, real-time picture of what the team is actually doing.

It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.

When to use a Kanban Board

  • β–ΈManaging a continuous flow of incoming requests, such as support, ops, or maintenance work
  • β–ΈRunning a product or engineering team that pulls work rather than committing to fixed sprints
  • β–ΈMaking a stalled or overloaded workflow visible to spot where cards pile up
  • β–ΈCoordinating handoffs across roles like design, dev, and QA on a single shared view

What a good Kanban Board includes

  • βœ“Columns mapped to your real stages (e.g. Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Review, Done)
  • βœ“Cards with a clear title, owner, priority, and due date
  • βœ“WIP limits per column to cap concurrent work and force flow
  • βœ“Swimlanes to separate work types, teams, or expedited items
  • βœ“A defined 'done' policy so cards only move when acceptance criteria are met
  • βœ“Labels or tags for filtering by epic, client, or blocker status

Tips & common mistakes

  • πŸ’‘Set and enforce WIP limits early; a board without them just becomes a shared to-do list
  • πŸ’‘Keep columns tied to actual workflow states, not job titles, or cards stop reflecting reality
  • πŸ’‘Review aging cards regularlyβ€”items stuck in one column signal a blocker or an oversized task

FAQ

What is the difference between Kanban and Scrum?οΌ‹

Kanban is a continuous-flow method with no fixed iterations and WIP limits to pace work, while Scrum organizes work into time-boxed sprints with committed backlogs. Kanban suits steady, unpredictable demand; Scrum suits planned delivery cycles.

How do WIP limits work on a Kanban board?οΌ‹

A WIP limit caps how many cards can sit in a column at once, so a new item can only enter when a slot frees up. This prevents overloading, exposes bottlenecks, and pushes the team to finish work before starting more.

How many columns should a Kanban board have?οΌ‹

Use only as many columns as there are genuine stages in your workflow, typically three to six. Too few hides where work stalls, while too many creates noise and needless card-shuffling.
