Business Requirements

  • A group of developers prefer to use a single SharePoint task list (a Kanban board) for all of their projects.
  • Many projects do not require lots of tasks, and creating a separate task list or a board per project would be overkill. That is why every kanban card should be named after a project, not a task.
  • A big-picture view of all of team work across all projects instead of flipping from one board or a page to another.
