# Kanban Boards
A Kanban Board is a way to visualize a workflow and to organize work using columns and cards.
Columns represent a step, stage or status (e.g., Todo, In Progress, Done). Cards represent "tasks".
Kanban boards should respect [[Kanban Methodology]]'s core principles, such as [[Limit Work In Progress]] (cfr [[Work In Progress (WIP)]]. For instance, certain columns should have an upper limit of cards to limit the amount of work done in parallel. Those column limits represent the maximum capacity of the system.
