BAMoore UX Portfolio

Kanbanish is a focused planning surface built around the simplest version of product roadmap work: see what exists, understand where it stands, and move it forward without setup or tool overhead. The experience uses a familiar four-column workflow, minimal cards, contextual editing, and board-level customization to keep planning fast, readable, and easy to maintain.

The problem

Small product teams often need a planning tool before they need a full project management system. Heavy roadmap platforms can add accounts, configuration, permissions, automation, and views before the team has even captured what needs to happen next.

Kanbanish narrows the job to the moment that matters most: turning loose initiatives into a visible, shared board that makes status obvious at a glance.

Board workflow

The core workflow uses Backlog, Planned, In Progress, and Live as a simple roadmap spine. Each column has a clear role, giving anyone on the team an instant sense of what is still being shaped, what is committed, what is actively moving, and what has shipped.

Cards are intentionally minimal. On the board, they surface only the title and a type tag: Feature, Fix, or Chore. That constraint keeps the board scannable, especially when the roadmap grows, and avoids turning every card into a dense mini-document.

Backlog captures ideas and future work.
Planned keeps near-term priorities visible.
In Progress shows what is actively being worked on.
Live marks shipped work without hiding it from the roadmap.

Contextual card details

Selecting a card opens a side panel instead of navigating to a separate page. That keeps users anchored to the board while revealing the detail needed for the selected initiative.

The panel supports editing the title, type, status, description, and an optional image attachment. It adds enough structure for product planning without forcing every card to carry more information than the team needs.

Board customization

Board-level customization lives in a dedicated settings modal. Users can rename the workspace and manage columns by adding, removing, or renaming them to match the language their team already uses.

The interaction is deliberately direct: edit the field, save the settings, and return to the board. Customization supports different workflows without turning the product into a configuration project.

Zero-friction planning

The overall experience is intentionally low ceremony. There is no account creation, no setup wizard, and no configuration required before a user can start planning.

That makes Kanbanish feel closer to a useful workspace than a system to administer. You land on the board and you are already working.

No required onboarding before the board is usable.
No hidden setup step before adding or editing work.
No page change required to review card details.
No heavy project management concepts competing with the roadmap.
