How to Use Kanban Boards for Projects in Notion

To use Kanban boards for project management in Notion, create a board database, set columns as project stages (like “To Do,” “In Progress,” “Done”), and add cards for each task — allowing you to visually track progress and deadlines in real time.

Step 1: Create a New Page and Add a Board

In Notion, click “+ New Page,” then choose the Board view under database options.

Step 2: Define Columns as Project Stages

Rename columns to match your workflow — e.g., “Backlog,” “Design,” “Review,” “Completed.”

Step 3: Add Tasks as Cards

Each card can include properties like:

• Due Date
• Assignee
• Priority
• Subtasks or checklists

Step 4: Drag and Drop to Move Tasks

As work progresses, simply drag tasks from one stage to another to reflect their status.

Step 5: Use Filters and Views

Create filtered views (e.g., by assignee or due date) to keep your board clean and focused.
