Defining board lanes in the workspace

 

Prerequisites

  • Task flow defined in the workspace;
  • Being a member of the workspace management team.

 

Introduction

After creating the workspace and determining its flow, we must define the lanes that will be part of said workspace.

These lanes will be displayed in the board, and the user will move tasks from one to another in order to identify the step in which the tasks are.

 

Adding lanes to the workspace

1. Access the Management > Workspace (KN009) menu.

2. Select the workspace and click on .

3. On the workspace data screen, click on the Lanes option.

4. Click on the Add lane button and enter a Title for it.

5. Use the Minimum and Maximum fields to delimit the number of tasks that the lane may contain, if you want to limit the WIP (Work in progress). For example, when 3 is set as maximum number, only 3 tasks can be found in that same step, thus preventing tasks from piling up.

6. Repeat the previous steps to add all desired lanes.

7. After that, drag the steps found in the Steps not mapped section to the intended lanes. If you wish, you may not assign a step to a lane, but later, on the task data screen, assign it manually.

The steps shown are those mapped in the flowcharts associated with the task types. Access the Defining a task flow in the workspace article for further details.

 

 

Deleting lanes

1. Click on the Delete option placed on the lane to be removed.

2. The steps associated with the removed lane will return to the Steps not mapped list.

If there are tasks in any step from the removed lane, they will no longer be displayed in the board, if the step is not mapped in another lane of the workspace.

 

 

Conclusion

With the flowchart associated, the steps mapped, and the lanes configured, the workspace will be ready to be used for planning the tasks. See the Planning tasks article.
