Implement optional WIP limits for swimlanes
Problem to solve
We use Kanban workflow but there is currently no way to set hard WIP limits on our swimlanes/board columns.
Further details
Work in progress (WIP) limits restrict the maximum amount of work items in the different stages (kanban board columns) of the workflow. The implementation of WIP limits allows you to complete single work items faster, by helping your team to focus only on current tasks.
Most importantly, by applying WIP limits, your team has the opportunity of locating bottlenecks in their working processes before they become blockers.
WIP limits are considered an important prerequisite for delivering value to your customer as fast as possible. This makes WIP limits a valuable asset in the Kanban method. (Include use cases, benefits, and/or goals)
Proposal
Allow for setting of WIP limits on swimlanes
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
