ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kanban board

A Kanban board is like a way to plan and stay organized. It's like a huge chart, broken into different sections, each of which is called a “column”. In each column, there are different tasks written down. The tasks are things that you have to do. For example, in the first column, you might have tasks like “Write report”, “Do research”, and “Make presentation”. As you work on each task, you move it from one column to the next. When you’re done with a task, you move it to the last column. That way, you can easily keep track of what tasks you’ve finished and which ones you still need to do.
