What it is
A Kanban board turns a workflow into columns and each piece of work into a card that moves across them. A basic software board might read Backlog, In progress, Review, Done. The method grew from Toyota's production system, where visual cards helped control the flow of work rather than merely record a task list.
Reach for one when the stage of each item matters and the team needs to see bottlenecks at a glance. Trello made the draggable digital version familiar, but the useful Kanban idea is the work-in-progress limit: a column can cap how many cards enter, forcing the team to finish work before starting more.
Gotcha: drag and drop alone excludes keyboard and screen reader users, and it can hide what changed after a failed save. Provide move actions and announcements as well as dragging, keep card order stable, and show a clear rollback if persistence fails. Too many columns or cards turn the overview into another backlog to search.

Build a responsive Kanban board with dnd-kit. Render horizontally scrollable columns for Backlog, In progress, Review, and Done, each with a count, an optional work-in-progress limit, and sortable cards. Use DndContext, SortableContext, PointerSensor, and KeyboardSensor so cards can move within and between columns by pointer or keyboard. Show a DragOverlay, announce moves in an aria-live region, add a non-drag 'Move to' menu on every card, and optimistically save order by stable card IDs with rollback on failure.
