Kanban
Classic Kanban with WIP limits, T-shirt sizing, and area tags. Visualize flow and limit work in progress.
About This Template
The Kanban template implements core Kanban principles for visualizing work and limiting work in progress. Emoji-prefixed columns provide quick visual identification of each workflow stage.
The critical WIP limit of 7 on In Progress prevents team overload and highlights bottlenecks before they become problems. This constraint encourages finishing work before starting new tasks.
T-shirt sizing (XS to XXL) with time estimates helps with effort planning without the overhead of detailed estimation. Area tags let you filter by team or discipline across 8 categories. The Archived column keeps completed work accessible for reference without cluttering your Done column.
