Step-by-Step Guide
Create a New Database in Notion
Start by opening a new page in Notion or adding a database to an existing page. Click the “+” button and select “Board” to create a Kanban Board.Set Up Your Kanban Columns
By default, Notion creates columns like “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.” Customize these by clicking the column name and renaming them to fit your project (e.g., “Planning,” “Design,” “Development,” “Review”).Add Tasks to Your Board
Click “+ New” in any column to add a task. Give it a name (e.g., “Design Homepage”) and add properties like due dates, assignees, or priority using the “Properties” menu. Organize Tasks with Drag-and-Drop
Move tasks between columns by dragging and dropping them. For example, drag a task from “To Do” to “In Progress” as you start working on it.Add Details to Each Task
Click on a task to open its page. Add notes, subtasks, or files (e.g., a design mockup) to keep all relevant information in one place.Filter and Sort Your Board
Use the “Filter” and “Sort” options to view specific tasks (e.g., tasks assigned to you or due this week). This helps you focus on what’s most important.Share Your Board with Your Team
Click the “Share” button at the top-right and invite your team to collaborate. They can add comments, update task statuses, and more.
