However, commonly, different colors are used to represent different types of tasks, task statuses, or task priorities. For example, a team might use red to indicate high-priority tasks, green for tasks that are on track, and yellow for tasks that are behind schedule.

What is "Kanban"? Kanban is a project management framework that uses a notecard visualization to style cards on a board so team members can easily see where each task or project is in a series of workflow stages. The Kanban system, invented at Toyota, helped transform the automaker from selling less than three hundred cars a year to one of the largest automakers in the world and making hundreds of billions in revenue as of 2021.
