Kanban

Overview

The kanban is a board that is divided into a set of columns, representing various statuses. Tasks are placed on the board. Users can claim a task by moving it to a new status.

The board is a simple way to display the current status of a project, as well as create a way to assign tasks to team members.

The kanban app requires a commercial license.
