What are Kanban Board Swimlanes? And How to Use Them

Kanban board swimlanes are horizontal lanes on the board that divide and clarify the workflow. They allow teams to easily spot issues and bottlenecks and identify where they come from to keep work flowing. Swimlanes provide flexibility to manage specific products or clients, cross-team workflows, and company-level goals. Teams can use swimlanes to show class of service, visualize cross-team dependencies, distinguish sub-teams, products, or clients, highlight recurring work, or target company-level goals.
