Review the Prerequisites

Before you use the Kanban Board to manage the product backlog, verify that the following items are set up in CA Clarity Agile and CA Clarity Requirements.

• The product backlog is created.
• The release is created and release planning is done.
• The user stories and issues for the release are prioritized.
• The Kanban Board is created for the release.
• The Kanban Board is configured with the status lanes. The status lanes represent the stages in the project lifecycle.
• Each lane on Kanban Board is configured with the work in process (WIP) limit. The WIP limit is the maximum number of user stories that you can work on at any time.
