Kanban kick-start example
A Kanban template with a bunch of useful patterns
Here is a detailed example of a fairly typical 2-tier Kanban board, for teams that know the basics of Kanban and are taking their first steps towards implementing it in practice.
Translations: German
It is sort of like a code example, or a condensed Kanban patterns repository. Print it out and use it as a source of ideas & inspiration as you evolve your own board.
If you know Scrum but are new to Kanban you might want to read Kanban vs Scrum first.

Re: Kanban kick-start example
I like the example but it's way too complex as a kick-start. I believe people should start with something very simple. Many of add-ons like bugs connected with task, another small "stamp" showing bug status etc will emerge as team works with Kanban. Adding them up-front makes the Kanban implementation complex and more difficult than it would be otherwise.
Re: Kanban kick-start example
Good point. I'm hoping teams will start simple and evolve rather than just copy everything on the board. But once they do discover that they need, for example, a distinction between features and tasks then this board can give them ideas about how to do it in practice, and thereby speed up the evolution.
See this board as a condensed Kanban pattern repository rather than a template.
I'm thinking of maybe adding an animated version showing how a board like this typically would evolve from scratch.
Re: Kanban kick-start example
The board as a condensed Kanban repository is great. I believe we'll copy a couple of ideas if you don't mind.
Our kick-start Kanban board was way simpler, but I can already say it's slowly evolving into more complex one. Which is good I think.
