.avif "What is Kanban View")
Keep Workflows
Flowing
Kanban is a Japanese term and lean method that originated from processes used by Toyota in the 1940s. Aiming to remove bottlenecks, Kanban helps a full team visualize the general workflow, reduce overall work in progress, and focus on a squeaky clean flow of work. Work is pulled when capacity presents itself, keeping everyone happy and engaged.
Group Cards
Automatically
Group your columns by any data variable - Status or Stage, Assigned To, or Priority. If you're tracking it, SmartSuite can group it. And it’s a lot easier than moving a bunch of Post-It notes around.
Create Row
Swimlanes
Dive on in, the water’s great! Automatically group cards into process swimlanes (rows) to add an extra dimension to your report. Drag and drop between rows to update values and keep your work flowing. 🏊
Advance Your Workflows
With Drag & Drop
Shifting cards between your overall workflow is a key component of Kanban principles.
Dragging cards to different columns or swimlanes will automatically update the field values so it's easy to switch items from your Backlog to In Process and beyond.
One Click to
See the Details
Clicking on any card quickly opens the record to see the details, make adjustments, and then close to jump back to the board.
