### The Kanban Board
The kanban board is a visual project management tool used to track and visualize work in progress. The board typically consists of columns representing different stages of work, and tasks- or work items which are represented by cards that move across the columns as progress is made. By providing a clear visual representation of the workflow, a kanban board helps teams visualize their work, identify bottlenecks, and promote collaboration and efficiency. \
In the following image you can see the kanban widget used for a ticket management system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.wem.io/platform/wemtipsandtricks/widgets/global-widgets/kanban-board.md?ask=&goal=

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
