Why use multiple Kanban boards? What can you use them for?

The possibilities for Kanban boards use are endless; what you do with them depends entirely on your workflow and preferences.

We have companies tracking software development, marketing, operations, construction sites, manufacturing and everything in between.
One of our customers even tracks the production of knee replacement implants. When we say the potential is endless, we mean it!

Here are the most common ways of using Kanban boards:

  • For tracking work.
    Visualizing all activities and tasks, optionally divided into swimlanes for better readability.
  • For project management.
    Tracking each project separately and gaining insights through Analytics.
  • For customer work.
    Managing workflows for multiple clients with unique processes and requirements.
  • As a list.
    Organizing a specific process - e.g., marketing, sales, or development; tracking and reusing ideas (see Checklist Templates and board cloning).
  • As a planner/reminder.
    Keeping appointments, meetings, and important tasks top of mind.
