Kanban sprints, in plain English

Each squad gets a visual board at /squads/[id]/kanban: columns of cards you drag between stages, grouped into time-boxed sprints (cycles) with a progress bar. Status: planned — the board UI lane is building it now; nothing to click yet outside this guide.

How the planned board works

Columns: stages like To do → In progress → Done. Drag a card from one column to another to change its stage.
Cards: one unit of work — title, description, priority, hour estimate, due date, labels, assignee.
Priorities: low, medium, high, urgent — urgent cards get the loudest badge.
Estimates: each card carries an hour estimate (e.g. 2.5h) that feeds sprint progress and the time tracker.
Sprints (cycles): a named window with start and end dates (e.g. “Sprint #4, ends in 3 days”) plus a 0–100% progress bar computed from finished cards.
Keyboard + pointer: cards are draggable by mouse/touch and movable by keyboard.

Data shapes (planned schema)

Table	What it holds
kanban_boards	id, squad_id, project_id, owner_user_id, title, description, timestamps.
kanban_cycles	board_id, title, start_date, end_date, progress_percentage (0–100), is_active.
kanban_columns	board_id, title, position (left-to-right order).
kanban_cards	column_id, board_id, cycle_id, title, description, priority, estimate_hours, due_date, labels, assigned_user_id, position.

Access is squad-scoped: board owners and squad members only (planned RLS). Cards can link to time entries, so logged hours roll up against the card's estimate.

FAQ

Do estimates move coins? No. Estimates are planning numbers; only the guarded checkout moves coins.
Who can move cards? Squad members on that board (planned permission rule).
