Should you manage work with a Kanban board or a list view? Learn when each works best and why giving every user their own view can improve productivity.
1. Does the view really matter?
Most project management software lets you organise work as a Kanban board or a list.

Should they all be forced to use the same view?

2. What is a Kanban board?
A Kanban board displays tasks as cards that move through different stages.

* To Do
* In Progress
* Review
