Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Backlog / To Do

New tasks are added to the "To Do" or "Backlog" column. This column is typically prioritized, with the most important tasks at the top.

Step 2 - In Progress

When a team member starts working on a task, they move it to the "In Progress" column. It can be useful to set a limit on how many tasks can be in this column at once (WIP Limit).

Step 3 - In Review / Blocked

When the work is complete, it is moved to "In Review" for a manager or peer to check. If a task is blocked by an external dependency, it can be moved to a "Blocked" column.

Step 4 - Done

Once reviewed and approved, the task is moved to the "Done" column, providing a sense of accomplishment and a record of completed work.

The Purpose of Task Management

This is a simple but effective personal or team task management workflow, often visualized on a Kanban board. It provides a basic structure for tracking tasks through different stages of completion. It helps individuals and teams stay organized, visualize their workload, prioritize their work, and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
