How do I create Kanban boards in Confluence?

[Rod Duncan]

When I chose Confluence, I was expecting a Kanban layout similar to my current KanbanFlow account, but haven't yet found any reference to Kanban board layout in Confluence.

Please let me know whether there is such a layout in Confluence and how I can make use of it.

Thanks

That would be Jira, if you want a Kanban board.

Thank you, Bill. I'll look into opening a Jira account.

I use a Jira Kanban board to manage my individual tasks. Very light weight solution.

Hello Rod, my name is Claudio and part of the team at Comalatech an Atlassian Marketplace partner.

As you have found Confluence Cloud does not have a Kanban Board layout 'built in'. In addition to using Jira as suggested by Bill or Trello (another Atlassian product), you could explore the apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace. For example if you wanted to have your Kanban board on your Confluence page and use it to manage other Confluence pages you could try Comala Boards for Confluence Cloud. 

Comala Boards for Confluence Cloud is available on the Atlassian Marketplace and it has a try out for 30 days. Let me know if you need any help, happy to lend a hand.

Have a great day! Looking forward to your feedback and if the app was helpful for you and your team!

My God your products are terrible, how you manage to stay in business is astonishing. Creating a con board should be a fundamental feature

Hey!

What tools do you usually use instead of Atlassian? 

[Ollie Roberts]

I believe it is all about monetisation (or, in other words, customer revenue expansion). I assume Atlassian would prefer not to cannibalise their Trello or Jira products with a Kanban board in Confluence. Don't get me wrong; this is frustrating me, too, and I'm starting to realise why I tried migrating to ClickUp (but have regretfully returned to due to their bugs).
