Guides
Four short pieces on getting a kanban board to earn its place. They are about how to run a board rather than which buttons this one has — that is what the about page is for — but where a specific feature makes a method easier, it says so.
How to choose the columns on a kanban board
Why three columns is the right default, the test for when to split one, how to keep Done meaning a single thing, and how to spot from the board itself that the layout is wrong.
If your board has stopped telling you anything useful.
How to run a retrospective on a shared board
A four-column setup, why gathering material before the meeting is worth more than any facilitation technique, how to turn discussion into actions with owners, and how to keep the record afterwards.
If you are running the meeting on Friday.
Personal kanban: running a board for one
A board for one person needs different columns from a team board, a much harder limit on what is in flight, and a fifteen-minute weekly review. All three, plus what a solo board is bad at.
If you are the only person who will ever open it.
Sharing a board: edit links, read-only links and passwords
What each kind of link lets the holder do, why a read-only link needs no password, how revoking works, and what to do when somebody should no longer have access.
Before you paste a board link into a group chat.
Where to start
If you have never run a board before, read the columns guide and skip the rest until something goes wrong. Columns are the only decision that is expensive to get wrong, because every other habit on a board is downstream of them. If you already have a board and it has quietly stopped being useful, the diagnosis is usually in there too.
