Kanban Board

Use Mermaid kanban to show work items across columns like backlog, in progress, blocked, and done.

Basic template

kanban
    Backlog
        [Write note]
    Doing
        [Review draft]

Core syntax

• Start with kanban
• Create a column with a plain heading line
• Add cards under it with [Card text]
• Keep columns in the order you want them displayed

Common example

kanban
    Backlog
        [Draft Mermaid cheat sheets]
        [Collect examples]

    In Progress
        [Write flowchart note]
        [Write ER diagram note]

    Review
        [Check syntax consistency]

    Done
        [Create folder]

Good for

• Personal workflow snapshots
• Small team status boards
• Documentation for process states

Watch for

• Mermaid Kanban is intentionally lightweight
• If you need dates or timing, pair it with a Gantt or timeline note
