Agile Kanban. Kanban for Software Development Teams-013 Kanban Board Template Example

The Kanban board template depicted below represents a software delivery process on a Kanban board.

Let's pay attention to the following characteristics of this Kanban board example:

• It highlights the tasks of the software development team including epics and user stories.

• The values circled below column headings specify the maximum number of Kanban cards

(Work In Progress Limit, WIP Limit) that can be simultaneously processed in a given phase.

• Below certain columns, it specifies explicit policies, which are also known as done rules.

• It encompasses a Kanban workflow management feature to divide certain columns as "Ready" and "In Progress". The WIP limit applies to both sub-columns to ensure that the associated teams and workflow stages are not overwhelmed due to excessive number of tasks (Kanban cards) on a single column (phase

of workflow).
