How to keep a Kanban board visually clean, showing only the relevant info for each phase
Keeping a Kanban board visually clean, showing only the relevant info for each phase, means configuring each stage of the funnel to display only the fields that make sense at that moment, with colors that help tell cards apart at a glance.
A Kanban board that shows the same fields in every stage of the process quickly turns into visual clutter: in the early stage, seeing lots of detail makes sense; in the final stage, only the essentials matter. Without that adjustment, finding the right information means opening card after card.
What companies are trying to solve:
- See, at each stage, only the fields that actually matter at that moment.
- Tell cards apart quickly using colors, without opening each one.
- Reduce visual clutter as the process moves forward.
- Keep clarity on what needs to be seen, without losing relevant information.
| Phase | What shows on the card |
|---|---|
| Negotiation | All the relevant details for that stage |
| Closing | Just the contract, with no excess fields |
