A well-used kanban board

A good team member communicates. Here we show how to communicate to the rest of the team with minimal overhead.

What needs to be done?
Who is doing what now?

Exercises¶

Exercise 1: use the Kanban board¶

Do the following in our student project:

Create an issue. In the text, write why you create that issue and what needs to be done
Assign yourself to the issue
Connect the issue to the project page: it should show up in the 'To do ' column. There are multiple ways to do so.
Move the issue to the 'In progress page'. There are multiple ways to do so.
Close the issue. In the text, write why you close that issue
If needed, move the issue to the 'Done' column.

Exercise 2: learners' project¶

For the learners' project:

For the issue(s) you are assigned to, add these to the kanban board. Put these in the right column. You should (probably) maximally put one issue in the 'In progress' column, as one can only actively work on one issue at a time
