What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Kanban”? 🤔 In case of Boomers, maybe a whiteboard with a bunch of Post-its on it? 🟨🟩🟦 Since you’re reading about an Atlassian Community event, maybe what you see is a Jira board. 👀

It’s easy to create one, but unfortunately, instead of helping, do they sometimes turn into cluttered graveyards filled with tickets? 🪦🎫👻 We know, we know. Strong words — though ’tis the season to be spooky. 🎃

Kanban is supposed to help us focus on delivering value 🎯 and understand where we are. Help us manage work faster and more smoothly. 🌊 Right? That’s very difficult when we don’t have the right rules and tools. 🛠️

Let’s work through a few useful, practical rules for building boards 📋, as well as the rules that should be true “must-haves” if we’re serious about managing our work. ✅

During our workshop, we’ll explore a few practices “on paper” ✍️, and then I’ll show you how to implement them in Jira using Advanced Agile & Kanban Boards. 💻🚀

All of this applies to managing any type of knowledge-based work — from software development and DevOps 👩‍💻 to marketing 📣, sales 🤝, or recruitment 🔎.
