1) Introducing Kanban boards
1) Introducing Kanban boards
Kanban boards visually show work at various stages of a process.
They use cards (or post it notes!) to represent work items and columns (aka lists) to represent each stage of the process.
Cards/notes can be moved from left to right to show progress and to help coordinate teams performing the work.
A Kanban board may be divided into horizontal "swimlanes" representing different kinds of work or different teams performing the work.

2) How Kanban Boards can help
Due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak many people are working from home, making face for face project management impossible. This can be especially difficult for a team where each individual is responsible for one or more project tasks that form part of a greater whole.
Kanban boards allow you to create an easy to understand visual "snapshot" of where your project currently is, allowing everyone in the team to see what's been done, who did the work and what still needs to be done.
In short, video conferencing can help your business remain operational, allowing you to operate as normally as possible during this challenging time.
