Help
Welcome to the help page for Join, your guide to using our Kanban project management tool. Here, we provide you with an overview of what Join is, how it can benefit you, and how to use it.
What is Join?
Join is a kanban-based project management tool designed and developed by a group of dedicated students as part of their web development bootcamp at the Developer Akademie.
Kanban, a Japanese term meaning "billboard", is a highly effective method to visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow). Join leverages the principles of Kanban to help users manage their tasks and projects in an intuitive way.
It is important to note that Join is designed as an educational exercise and is not intended for extensive business use. While we strive to ensure the best possible user experience, we cannot guarantee consistent availability, reliability, accuracy, or other aspects of quality regarding Join.
How to use it
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Join:
1.
Exploring the Board
When you log in to Join, you will find a default board. This board represents your project and contains four default lists: "To Do", "In Progress", "Await Feedback", and "Done".
2.
Creating Contacts
In Join, you can add contacts to collaborate on your projects. Go to the "Contacts" section, click on "New Contact", and fill in the required information.
3.
Adding Cards
Now that you've added your contacts, you can start creating tasks. Click the "+" button under the appropriate list to create a new card. Fill in the card details, such as card name, description, due date, responsible person, etc.
4.
Moving Cards
To track the progress of your tasks, you can easily move cards from one list to another. Drag the desired card with your mouse and drop it into the appropriate list, such as "In Progress", "Await Feedback", or "Done", to update the current status of your task.
5.
Completing Tasks
Once a task is completed, you can move it to the "Done" list. This indicates that the task has been successfully completed. Check if all requirements are met and the task needs no further changes. Once you are satisfied, the card remains in the "Done" list and the process is complete.
