Custom Kanban boards with configurable columns, drag and drop state changes, board reordering, task card previews, and real time updates pushed to the whole team the instant anything moves.
TARO's Kanban board is configured once and then runs itself drag moves tasks, columns update status, and the whole team sees it the instant it happens.
Configure
Every team's workflow is different. TARO lets you create, rename, reorder, and delete columns to match your process exactly whether that's a simple three column board or a seven stage QA pipeline. Each column maps to a task status, so dragging a card into a column changes the task's status automatically. No separate status update required.
Cards
Task cards on the board aren't just title chips. Each card previews the information your team needs to understand the work at a glance priority, assignee, due date, checklist progress, tag, and subtask count all visible on the card surface without clicking into the task. The card is the summary. The task detail is one click away when you need it.
Drag
Dragging a task card from one column to another does three things simultaneously: it updates the task's status to match the destination column, it logs the status change to the task's activity history with the user and timestamp, and it pushes the update to every team member's board in real time via Pusher WebSockets. No save button. No page refresh. The board is the interface and the interaction is the update.
Real time
TARO's Kanban board uses Pusher WebSockets to push every board event card moved, card added, card edited, column reordered to every connected team member's browser the instant it happens. The standup that opens with let me pull up the board opens with a board that is already current. No stale cards. No missed moves from overnight.
Once your standup board shows every team member's card movements from the last 24 hours in real time going back to a static board nobody trusts feels absurd.
Add, rename, reorder, and delete columns to build the board your team actually uses. A three column board and a seven stage QA pipeline are both valid. TARO doesn't force you into a fixed layout because your workflow isn't fixed either.
Dragging a card isn't just a visual rearrangement. It's a status update, a history log entry, and a real time push to every teammate's board all in one gesture. The board is the interface. The drag is the action.
Priority, assignee, due date, checklist progress, tags, and subtask count are all visible on the card surface. The board answers what's in review and who owns it? without anyone having to click into a single task.
Pusher WebSockets push every board event to every connected browser instantly. When a developer moves a card at 2pm, their teammates see it move at 2pm not at the next standup when someone manually updates their status.
Set a WIP limit on any column and TARO highlights it when the limit is exceeded. The bottleneck is visible on the board itself no separate analytics view needed to see that In Review has 14 tasks when the limit is 6.
Drag columns left or right to reorder the board. The new order is immediately saved and reflected on every team member's view. Reordering is a board-level change not a personal view preference that only you can see.
Configure your columns. Add your tasks. The board updates itself from there.
Engineering leads, product managers, and scrum masters all use TARO's Kanban board as the shared visual layer for active work. The board is the standup. The drag is the status update. The real time sync is what makes it reliable because a board only every team member trusts to be current is a board every team member actually uses.

Engineering teams open the Kanban board at standup and the real time activity feed shows every card movement since the last sync. No one has to report what they did the board shows it. The standup shifts from status reporting to exception handling: what's blocked, what needs a decision, what's at risk. Everything that moved already moved. The board proves it.
The same task data that lives on your Kanban board renders in five other views and TARO's AI intelligence runs beneath all of them.
The same tasks in List view with inline editing, bulk actions, sorting, filtering, and all 12+ fields visible as table columns. Switch from board to list in one click.
Run the full sprint lifecycle planning, burndown tracking, AI workload balancing, and completion prediction with the Kanban board as the primary delivery view.
TARO reads your Kanban column WIP counts and flags overloaded stages, single points of failure, and broken handoffs with prescribed fixes for each.
TARO ranks the tasks feeding your Kanban board's backlog column by due date, dependencies, and strategic impact so the most important work surfaces to the top automatically.

Common questions from engineering leads, PMs, and scrum masters evaluating TARO's board feature.
Task cards on TARO's Kanban board display six fields on the card surface without requiring any click: priority badge (colour coded Low / Medium / High / Urgent), assignee avatar (or multiple avatars for multi assignee tasks), due date with overdue colouring when past deadline, checklist progress count (e.g. 3/5), subtask completion count, and custom tags. The card title is always shown. The card can be configured at the board level to show or hide specific fields teams that don't use due dates can hide the due date field from all cards to keep them compact. Clicking a card opens the full task detail panel in a side drawer without navigating away from the board.
