Description
Now with the Kanban Combined WIP App for Jira Cloud you can improve your Kanban boards in a very simple way, combining columns and WIPS, adding color and wallpaper to your board, in addition to WIPS by swimlane. It will allow you to zoom, scroll so you can see the board well on small laptop screens. Try it for free!

A plugin will be installed in your favorite browser: Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Micorsoft Edge are supported.
Configuration (Jira Users)
Go to your usual Kanban board and select โโฆโ โ โBoard Settingsโ, go to the โColumnsโ section
Combine columns and WIPs
We can combine columns or we can group some columns using the split text โ::โ in the name of the columns
As example, we can group the โSelected for Developmentโ column with โIn Progressโ column using the prefix โDEV::โ in the name of both columns.
We can combine also the Min and Max WIP limits of both columns
The result will be something like this:
Combined WIP/Column WIP
Now is possible to see the board with WIP combined in the merged columns, or just the WIP independent by column. Just click on the โC.WIPโ button in the toolbar.
๐ MERGED COLUMNS WIP
๐ WIP BY COLUMN
Full-color Cards
Go again to โโฆโ โ โBoard Settingsโ and now we go to the section โCard Colorsโ. Just configure it as usual.
Now, letโs see the board again and just click in โColorโ button in the Kanban toolbar
Scroll and Zoom
Using scroll and zoom checks you can see the board well on small laptop screens!
Team-Board Image (background picture)
Click in the board ย โโฆโ โ โBoard Settingsโ and go to the options of โKanban WIP Configurationโ in the โGeneralโ section. ย Select a background or a URL and the image selected will be applied to all users of the board
Personal Image (background picture)
Click in โBackgroundโ check to change and activate the personal background picture in the board, just select one from the pop-up or add a custom URL image from the internet!
Explicit Policies by column
In the board, click in โExplicit Policiesโ. You can store information about the restrictions of the column and share the information with the users of the board. The information can be in rich text and is compliant with Atlassian standards (that means you can use tables, icons, etc)
Add WIPs to swimlanes
Go again to โโฆโ โ โBoard Settingsโ and now we go to the section โSwimlanesโ. Just configure it as usual.
Then press โConfigure Swimlane WIP limitsโ button
Add the limits for each swimlane and see the results!
Collapse/Expand columns new mode
Now we can COLLAPSE/EXPANDย in the toolbar in order to remove non-used columns!
Click in โxโ button to remove non-used columns (donโt worry, because if you click again in ๐ย the columns will appear again!)
Thatโs all! Ready for production!
Now is time to Kanban!
