Kanban Boards

Trello is an example of a Kanban board. Boards can be physical or digital. Boards are organized into lists containing cards. Cards progress through lists and contain a description and checklists. Comments and attachments can be appended; members, labels, and due dates assigned. This process makes use of 3 boards:

Sprints Board

The sprints board has 5 lists.

Default Items

The campaign manager builds one card with the following items for each site undergoing a sprint and places them in list 1:
