## What is Kanban Board?

Kanban board is an effective agile project management tool to organize tasks and track the process. This is a simple system for tracking work that moves in one direction and does not overwhelm the user with loops and bidirectional movement.

### The structure of a Kanban board <a href="#structure" id="structure"></a>

**A basic Kanban board is designed to move work from left to right. It is created using these three main elements:**

1. **Board**: the workspace where you place your tasks and through which you manage an entire project from start to finish.
2. **Cards**: include items that represent a task or an idea related to your project.
3. **Columns**: contain a series of similar and related cards that belong to the same progress stage.

Teams enjoy using this system due to its ease of use, visual interface and transparency. It also provides visibility into task progress, and whether a specific task is holding up the project.
