Welcome to the help page for Join, your guide to using our kanban project management tool. Here we'll provide 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 built by a group of students as part of a web development bootcamp. It is an educational exercise to demonstrate our abilities in front- and backend development.

Kanban, a Japanese term meaning “billboard,” is a highly effective method to visualize workflows, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency. With Join, you can manage your tasks and projects in a simple, visual, and intuitive way.

1. Exploring the Board

When you log in to Join, you’ll find a default board. This board represents your project and is divided into several lists, typically including "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done." Each list represents a stage in your workflow.

2. Creating Contacts

To add people you want to collaborate on your projects, go to the “Contacts” section. Here you can add, view, and manage your contacts.

3. Adding Cards

Now that you’ve added your contacts, you can start adding cards. Cards represent individual tasks. Click the "Add Task" button on the board or in the navigation to create a new card. You can then add a title, description, due date, and assign contacts to the task.

4. Moving Cards

As a task moves from one stage to another, you can reflect that on the board by dragging and dropping the card from one list to another. This gives everyone a clear and immediate view of the project's progress.

5. Deleting Cards

Once a task is completed, you can either move it to the "Done" list or delete it entirely if it's no longer needed. Be careful, as deleting a card is permanent!
