Project Description:

The Collaborative Kanban Board for Teams is a dynamic, real-time task management web application that enables teams to visualize workflows, organize tasks, and track project progress using the Kanban methodology. Inspired by tools like Trello or Jira, this platform allows users to create boards, add columns (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done), and drag-and-drop tasks collaboratively.

It supports multi-user editing, notifications, role-based access, and real-time updates, making it ideal for team projects, remote work, and agile development environments.
