ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Production board

Okay kiddo, so imagine you are playing a game with your friends and you need to keep track of who is winning. You can use a piece of paper and a marker to make a list of everyone's scores, but it might get messy and hard to read. That's where a production board comes in!

A production board is like a giant scoreboard that helps a team keep track of what they need to do and what they have already done when they are making something, like a toy or a game. It has different sections or columns for different parts of the process, and each section has information that helps the team know what they need to do next.

For example, if you were making a toy car with your friends and you had a production board, the sections might include things like "design," "assembly," "quality control," and "packaging." In each section, you would write down what needs to be done and who is responsible for doing it. Then, as each task is completed, you can move the car down the board to the next section.

The production board helps the team stay organized and make sure that everyone knows what they need to do. It also makes it easy to see how much progress has been made and what still needs to be done. So, just like the scoreboard helps you keep track of who is winning the game, the production board helps the team keep track of their progress and make sure they finish making the toy car on time.
