What is a Kanban Board?

A kanban board visualizes work: cards flow left to right across columns like To Do, Doing, and Done. You see status at a glance — and bottlenecks before they hurt.

The 3 rules

  • Visualize: every task is a card in a column.
  • Limit WIP: keep “Doing” small so work actually finishes.
  • Pull, don’t push: move cards right only when there’s capacity.

What are they good for?

  • Personal tasks: today’s 3 cards in Doing, the rest parked in To Do.
  • Projects: one column per stage (Backlog → Writing → Review → Shipped).
  • Team triage: labels, due dates, and checklists per card (Studio can share read-only links).

How MonoMap does it

Drag-and-drop cards and columns, labels, due dates, and sub-task checklists — in the same app as your mind maps. Brainstorm on the canvas, then turn a branch into a board in one click. Toggle between map and board without reloading. Explore all features or see how MonoMap compares to Miro and XMind.
