How to Use Kanban Boards for Projects in Notion

A Kanban board in Notion is a visual project management tool that organizes tasks into columns representing different stages, such as “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.” It helps teams and individuals track progress, prioritize tasks, and manage deadlines visually.

To create a Kanban board:

1. Add a new database and select the Board view.
2. Set columns to represent your project stages.
3. Add cards for each task.
4. Optionally, assign dates, tags, or team members to each card.

This setup allows you to see project progress at a glance and move tasks across stages easily.

Kanban boards improve project management by:

• Reducing bottlenecks by clearly showing tasks that need attention.
• Visualizing workflow so you know the status of all tasks.
• Enhancing team collaboration with assigned tasks and comments.
• Tracking deadlines with integrated date properties and reminders.
