Kanban Board
Configurable Kanban boards with drag-and-drop status changes, detailed card previews, WIP limits, and real-time sync across the team.
The Kanban Board is a configurable, drag-and-drop view where moving a card updates the task status, logs the change, and syncs to every teammate in real time.
How it works
Each project has one shared Kanban board with columns you create, rename, reorder, and delete to match your workflow. Every column maps to one of TARO's seven task statuses (To Do, In Progress, In Review, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled, Pending Approval), and multiple columns can map to the same status for sub-stages. Dragging a card into a column updates the task status, logs the change to activity history with user and timestamp, and pushes the update to every connected teammate using Pusher WebSockets. The column name is what the team sees; the mapped status is what the task data stores and what analytics and AI features read.
Key capabilities
- Configurable columns: add, rename, reorder, and delete to match your process; reordering is a board-level change applied for everyone.
- Drag-and-drop status changes that update the task, log history, and sync in one gesture.
- Card previews showing priority, assignee, due date, checklist progress, subtask count, and tags without opening the task; fields can be shown or hidden at the board level.
- Optional WIP limits per column, with the header turning amber at the limit and red when exceeded.
- Real-time updates over Pusher WebSockets for card moves, creates, deletes, inline edits, column changes, and WIP alerts.
- Multiple independent boards across projects, plus a cross-project summary dashboard for workspace admins.
Tips
WIP limits are soft warnings, not hard blocks: a card can still be dragged into an overloaded column, and the overload is also picked up by Bottleneck Analysis.
