Teamly's easy-to-use Kanban Board let teams track work progress at a glance, so everyone knows exactly where Tasks are in the pipeline and who's working on them ... as a result, work remains organized, while moving forward at a brisk, efficient pace!
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to
Make custom workflows using Kanban boards
Create and assign Tasks to users
& Move Tasks between columns to indicate progress
To create a custom workflow:
1. Click Workflows in the left side panel.

Now that you've created your board, you'll want to add columns to your workflow. These columns keep work organized by indicating the stage of progress that Tasks are in. For example, you might create a Content Workflow by using the following columns:
