Now with the Kanban Combined WIP App for Jira Cloud you can improve your Kanban boards in a very simple way, combining columns and WIPS, adding color and wallpaper to your board, in addition to WIPS by swimlane. It will allow you to zoom, scroll so you can see the board well on small laptop screens. Try it for free!

Just connect to your instance and select the App from the Atlassian marketplace. No global configuration is needed, that’s all!
Go to your usual Kanban board and press the button “Kanban Combined WIP PRO” → “Install in browser”
A plugin will be installed in your favorite browser: Firefox, Google Chrome and Micorsoft Edge are supported.
Go to your usual Kanban board and select “…” → “Board Settings”, go to the “Columns” section
We can combine columns or we can group some columns using the split text “::” in the name of the columns
As example, we can group the “Selected for Development” column with “In Progress” column using the prefix “DEV::” in the name of both columns.
We can combine also the Min and Max WIP limits of both columns
The result will be something like this:
Go again to “…” → “Board Settings” and now we go to the section “Card Colors”. Just configure it as usual.
Now, let’s see the board again and just click in “Color” check in the Kanban toolbar
Using scroll and zoom checks you can see the board well on small laptop screens!
Click in “Image” check to change and activate the background picture in the board, just select one from the pop-up
or click in the link option to add a custom URL image from the internet!
Go again to “…” → “Board Settings” and now we go to the section “Swimlanes”. Just configure it as usual.
Then press “Configure Swimlane WIP limits” button
Add the limits for each swimlane and see the results!
Now is time to Kanban!
