Configure the Kanban Board

You can configure the Kanban Board to deliver the project using the Kanban methodology. The Kanban Board for a release helps track the progress of the project and identify any roadblocks. To create a Kanban Board, configure the following two attributes:

Status Lanes

They represent the stages in the lifecycle of the project. Map the status lanes to one of the statuses of CA Clarity Agile.

WIP Limit

The maximum number of user stories that you can work on at any time. You can define a WIP limit for each status lane.

For example, Michael configures a new kanban board with the following status lanes and WIP limits:

WIP Limit

Planned

Michael can pull the user stories from the backlog to the Kanban Board for the team to work on.
