kanban WIP limits

nforde

Hi

 

I was playing with the Card view and wondered if there is a way to enable WIP limits. for example if I want to set a limit of 5 items that can appear under the In Progress column so that if anymore than 5 are allocated to this column the item will be highlited in red or something?

 

Many thanks

Hi—we currently don't have functionality to set a limit for the number of cards that can appear in a lane. We also don't have a way to set conditional formatting on items based on their quantity in a lane (i.e. when more than x tasks are In Progress) but I'll get your vote down for these features on our enhancement request list for further consideration.

 

Thanks for the input!

Well, conditional formatting or no, I couldn't get anything to change color  (text or background).

 

Here's a hack work-around (without the hoped for colors)

I created a column [Info]

In row 1, I added this formula

=IF(COUNTIF(Status:Status, "In Progress") > 4, "5 or more In Progress!")

 

All the rest of the column points to that

=$[Info]$1

 

In Card View, I added the Info field and it will at least give some indication that your limits are being reached.

 

Hope this helps.
