Visualize your workflow and prevent bottlenecks with Kanban boards

Kanban boards are the software development equivalent of sticky notes on a whiteboard. A Kanban board’s intuitive, drag-and-drop visual interface enables you to move Kanban cards representing different tasks across a board, streamlining your project management from inception to completion. 

Use these visualizations to understand where your project is at a glance, share updates with stakeholders, and ensure your team understands how their tasks fit into the big picture of project milestones or goals. Learning how to use Kanban boards will help your team track individual tasks in real-time.

Create a Kanban board with Notion to:

• Take advantage of our intuitive and user-friendly system

• Keep all your information in one place

• Improve your task management

• Assign individuals to certain tasks

• Connect your Kanban board to timelines, subpages about each task, knowledge vaults, docs about processes, and design systems to standardize branding

1. Create a Notion account. 

2. Open your Notion teamspace.

3. Create a new database in Notion by typing /database inline.

4. Add entries for each task or milestone. 

5. Customize task properties like status, assignee, sprint, and more. Designate tasks as “to-do,” “in progress,” “done,” “backlog,” or “on hold.”

6. Create a board view to visualize the database and move Kanban cards through different columns to track progress.
