A Quick Guide to Kanban Cards

A Quick Guide to Kanban Cards

Kanban cards are a versatile project management tool used to manage projects, business processes and inventories. They are part of the kanban method, a simple yet powerful system that consists of kanban boards, kanban cards and management principles. Kanban cards represent tasks, columns indicate a stage of completion of those tasks, and swimlanes are horizontal lines limiting different types of work or tasks. Teams can create their own physical kanban cards with sticky notes, but most project managers use digital kanban cards. Kanban cards allow team members to track lead time and due dates, improve team collaboration, limit work in progress, and customize boards, columns and cards to fit the needs of their team. ProjectManager has advanced project management features that can be used with other project views such as Gantt charts, task lists and project calendars.
