When anyone thinks of project management, kanban boards should come to mind. After all, kanban is one of the most efficient means of managing a project. With an at-a-glance ability to see exactly where each task stands in the workflow, you can quickly view a summary of how well the project is coming along.
With many project management tools, you get kanban boards automatically set up. With monday work management, you have to manually add them, but there are two ways to do so. Let me show you both.
