FAQPage Schema
How do I manage project tasks using a Markdown Kanban board?

You can manage project tasks by initializing a KANBAN.md file to create a board, then adding cards to To Do, In Progress, or Done columns, and moving them as work progresses to reduce scattered notes.

Can I launch an interactive web app for drag-and-drop task management?

Yes, you can launch a local web app at http://localhost:5555 to visually manage your Kanban board with drag-and-drop functionality while persisting tasks in the KANBAN.md file.

What is the best way to archive completed tasks in a Markdown Kanban board?

Archiving completed tasks involves removing Done cards from the active board and optionally sectioning them as Archived with a date stamp directly within the KANBAN.md file to maintain historical records.

How do I analyze Kanban board health and suggest workflow improvements?

You can analyze board health by running a review process that evaluates the current distribution of tasks across columns and generates suggestions for improving your project workflow.

Does managing a Markdown-based Kanban board require any dependencies?

No dependencies are required. You only need a current working directory to initialize and store the KANBAN.md file, allowing you to manage tasks and launch the local web app without external packages.

When should I not use a Markdown file for Kanban task management?

You should avoid using a Markdown Kanban board for large-scale team collaboration requiring real-time multi-user editing, as it relies on a local KANBAN.md file and a single-user local web app instance.
