Learn Kanban by using it

Finish more.
Start less.

See your work, keep active tasks intentionally small, and move what matters towards Done. This board teaches the idea while giving you a useful place to practise it.

Drag cards between columns to move your work forward.

Why limit Doing?

Too much active work splits attention and makes unfinished work pile up. A visible limit forces a useful choice: finish or move something before starting more.

Three is this Learning Lab’s teaching limit, not a universal Kanban rule. Real teams choose limits that fit their work.

How to use the board

Desktop: drag a card between columns, or above/below another card to reorder it. For keyboard movement between stages, focus a card and use Shift + → to move forward or Shift + ← to move back.

Mobile: use the ↑ / ↓ controls on each card. Their accessible labels name the destination. The pencil edits a task and × deletes it.

Reset the board?

This will replace your current tasks with the original Learning Lab examples. It cannot be undone.

Keyboard movement: with a card focused, Shift plus Right Arrow moves it to the next stage; Shift plus Left Arrow moves it to the previous stage.
