Kanban Project Management Tool
Welcome to the help page for Join, your guide to using our kanban project management tool. Here, we'll provide an overview of what Join is, how it can benefit you, and how to use it.
Join is a kanban-based project management tool designed and built by a group
of
dedicated students as part of
their web development bootcamp at the Developer Akademie.
Kanban, a Japanese term meaning "billboard", is a highly effective method to visualize work, limit
work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow). Join leverages the
principles of kanban to help users
manage their tasks and projects in an intuitive, visual interface.
It is important to note that Join is designed as an educational exercise and
is
not intended for extensive
business usage. While we strive to ensure the best possible user experience, we cannot guarantee
consistent
availability, reliability, accuracy, or other aspects of quality regarding Join.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Join:
When you log in to Join, you'll find a default board. This board represents your project and contains four default lists: "To Do", "In Progress", “Await feedback” and "Done".
In Join, you can add contacts to collaborate on your projects. Go to the "Contacts" section, click on "New contact", and fill in the required information. Once added, these contacts can be assigned tasks and they can interact with the tasks on the board.
Now that you've added your contacts, you can start adding cards. Cards represent individual tasks. Click the "+" button under the appropriate list to create a new card. Fill in the task details in the card, like task name, description, due date, assignees, etc.
As the task moves from one stage to another, you can reflect that on the board by dragging and dropping the card from one list to another.
Once a task is completed, you can either move it to the "Done" list or delete it. Deleting a card will permanently remove it from the board. Please exercise caution when deleting cards, as this action is irreversible.
