Kanban Board
Use kanban patterns to give users a visual, column-based layout for tracking tasks across workflow stages.
Kanban board
This pattern provides a visually engaging layout for tracking tasks across workflow stages. The board can be implemented as a standalone page or embedded as a tab within a larger dashboard. Each task card displays the work type, assignee, due date, and completion percentage, with arrow controls to move tasks between columns.
