In this course, a Jira Kanban workflow means setting up work on a visual board so it can be organized, tracked, and moved through stages. The emphasis is on building a first project structure that supports planning, team visibility, and day-to-day progress.

You would use a Jira Kanban workflow when work needs to stay visible, be updated continuously, and move through a clear process. In this course, it is used to help plan ongoing work, control how much is in progress, and keep shared tasks organized.

In a broader project workflow, it is the space where planned work becomes visible, trackable, and shareable across a team. The course connects planning elements such as a roadmap and larger work groupings with the day-to-day movement of tasks through stages.
