Free Kanban board: Start visualizing projects

Visualize your team’s progress and manage a continuous delivery of work with Jira Kanban boards

Teams can break down large projects into more manageable pieces and capture all relevant task information on Jira issues, visualized as cards on the board. Configure the board to match real-life workflows and reduce friction as your team moves tasks from to-do to done. Pivot with agility when priorities change and stay on track to hit key deadlines.
