Feature Idea: WIP Limits for Kanban boards #3158

Open wuwinson opened 2 years ago

wuwinson commented 2 years ago

Summary

A way to limit the maximum number of cards that can be moved to a column in board view, to prevent project overload and help teams focus on completing existing tasks before moving on to new ones.

  1. Option to restrict the number of cards in a column
  2. Option to restrict the number of cards per assignee or other property values in a column
  3. Option to change the color of the column when the limit is reached

How important this is to me and why

Importance: Medium

Use cases:

  1. Setting WIP limits on card status, so only a set number of cards can be in "In Progress" or "In Review"
  2. Setting WIP limits on assignees, so an assignee cannot have more than X number of cards assigned to them at any one time.
