The Kanban board consists of 2 major components; States and Swimlanes.
States
States refer to the uniform steps that each user story, task, or requirement goes through from start to acceptance.
Example States
- Backlog
- Defined
- In-Progress
- Completed
- Accepted
Exit Agreement
The Exit Agreement is the agreement amongst the team members of the criteria that must be met in order for a work item to move to the next step in the workflow.
Swimlanes
Swimlanes are a more conceptual element that revolves around how work is segmented, whether it be by functional group or priority.
Example Swimlanes
- Expedited vs Not Expedited
- Owner
