What you can do with kanban boards

A Kanban board groups your items into columns and swimlanes. Kanban boards work well with scenarios like:

• Grouping roadmap items into themes and releases and prioritizing by rank;

You can drag cards in the kanban board to update their fields like Theme or Release.
