Exploring Kanban as a Portfolio Overview Tool in Atlas: Seeking Creative Solutions

[Marco Amicucci]

Hello Atlas Community,

I'm new to Atlas and I've noticed there isn't a Kanban view for projects.

I'm aware of the conventional use of Kanban for individual project management. However, I find Kanban boards extremely useful for a holistic view of project portfolios. Despite understanding the typical perspective that Kanban may not be the ideal tool for this, I still see great value in it for overarching project visualization.

Is there any way to view projects in a Kanban format in Atlas?

I'm curious if there's a way to integrate a Kanban-style overview within Atlas, perhaps even through a Trello integration? I'm eager to hear any creative ideas or solutions that might help address this need for a comprehensive project portfolio view using Kanban. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

We have a Jira Software Kanban board that displays our Epics. Then, each epic is linked to a project in Atlas. From the epics in Jira, you can view Atlas updates and post updates, too.

Hi Amanda, do you might have the idea how to link more than one epic in atlas?

Or if you have any experienced workaround, i would appreciate if you could share it with me?

Thanks in advance.

The problem is that epics are only in use when a project is launched - if you're in icebox/ideation phases, you have no way to visualize those pending projects in a kanban. 

I second this request would be helpful. Right now we have to do duplicate Miro boards to envision the full project lifecycle we are already tracking in Atlassian Home
