When it comes to teamwork, however, a better method to use is a Kanban board.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/zenkit.com\/blog\/how-kanban-boards-can-benefit-your-team\/\">Kanban board<\/a> is a visual management tool and scheduling system that works on using visual cues to visualize a work process and identify any bottlenecks. The way it works is that there are columns on the board that represent various stages of a work process. Cards are then used to represent tasks that get moved along the board depending on which stage of the process they&#8217;re at. A typical board would consist of three columns labelled &#8220;To-do&#8221;, &#8220;Doing&#8221;, and &#8220;Done&#8221;, but you can have as many columns as your team sees fit.<\/p>\n<p>What makes a Kanban board more ideal than a regular task list is it encourages collaboration and shared responsibility. Team members can visualize, manage, and maximize their tasks and workflow. They have to <a href=\"https:\/\/zenkit.com\/blog\/10-must-haves-for-successful-team-collaboration\/\">work together effectively and efficiently<\/a> to make sure tasks are moved along the board accordingly and into the &#8220;Done&#8221; column. Dragging a task into the &#8220;Done&#8221; column of a Kanban board is the equivalent to crossing an item off a task list. The feeling can be so satisfying!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-22883 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/zenkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/move-items-kanban-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"708\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The following templates are examples of how a Kanban board can be used as a daily task list template for work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.
