Set WIP Limits for Any Status

Today we're introducing Work-In-Progress (WIP) Limits - a powerful tool to help teams maintain flow, reduce context-switching, and prevent bottlenecks.

You can now specify a maximum number of tasks allowed per status on your board. If the number of tasks exceeds the defined limit, the entire column will be highlighted in red - instantly signaling that your WIP threshold has been crossed.

This works across both multi-project view and focused project view, making it especially useful for teams practicing Kanban, ScrumBan, or managing high task volume.

#Why it matters:

  • Visual warning when any status becomes overloaded
  • Helps maintain a smooth, sustainable workflow
  • Easy to spot trouble areas before they escalate

#How to use:

  1. Go to Board SettingsStatuses
  2. Set a number under the "Max Tasks" column
  3. Done. Columns will visually alert you once the threshold is exceeded
