Kanban is an agile methodology where products are developed in one large development cycle. YouTrack lets you create a Kanban Agile board with a few clicks. Once the board is created, you can tune the settings and create additional workflows to make YouTrack fit your process.
Product teams at JetBrains establish their own workflows to match their goals, working habits, and personalities. The development teams for AppCode and CLion follow a Kanban-inspired framework. They use Kanban boards to manage everyday activities related to the development of these two IDEs.
The teams decide whether to add an issue to the board based on a queue of prioritized tasks.
The highest priority issues are placed at the top of the queue.
When developers want to start progress on an issue from the queue, they just change the value of the Kanban State field.
A workflow automatically updates the values in the issues that are managed on the board.
