Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Kanban board Choose Kanban board when work items progress through shared workflow states and column movement is the primary interaction. Each column represents a workflow state or selected column field value, and moving a card updates the same value shown in details, reports, and automation. Atlassian documents board columns, default Kanban states, status mapping, column constraints, and right-most done semantics.
