For the project managers who create new reports for every single team stand-up meeting\u2026this is for you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In stand-up meetings, people avoid staring at a static spreadsheet on their screens. They prefer viewing the information relevant to them, and this is why using ClickUp is so useful! In a few clicks, create Kanban boards for different audiences or criteria <em>once<\/em>. These public board views will then live as an everyday resource before, during, and after meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch as tasks automatically update across all views to give your teams real-time visibility into statuses\u2014wherever they are!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-cu-image-with-overlay\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><div class=\"cu-image-with-overlay__overlay\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/create-multiple-boards-in-clickup-for-any-use-case-1400x669-1.png\" alt=\"See the same information in a different ClickUp view type\" class=\"image skip-lazy cu-image-with-overlay__image\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto\"\/><div class=\"cu-image-with-overlay__cta-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clickup.com\/signup?template=t-38584401&amp;_gl=1*f6il0l*_gcl_au*NjA0MzMyNjM1LjE3NDQ2MzcxOTE.\" class=\"cu-image-with-overlay__cta cu-image-with-overlay__cta--#7c68ee\" data-segment-track-click=\"true\" data-segment-section-model-name=\"imageCTA\" data-segment-button-clicked=\"Download Free Template\" data-segment-props=\"{&quot;location&quot;:&quot;body&quot;,&quot;sectionModelName&quot;:&quot;imageCTA&quot;,&quot;buttonClicked&quot;:&quot;Download Free Template&quot;}\">Download Free Template<\/a><\/div><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">See the same information in a different ClickUp view type<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cu-buttons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clickup.com\/signup?template=t-38584401&amp;_gl=1*f6il0l*_gcl_au*NjA0MzMyNjM1LjE3NDQ2MzcxOTE.\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--purple cu-button--improved\">Download Free Template<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-2-team-requests-kanban-board-template-by-clickup-\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/team-requests-t-10686767\">Team Requests Kanban Board template by ClickUp<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you keeping track of every team request\u2014from general operations to company swag?

But who exactly benefits from using Kanban boards? Here are a couple of examples and templates of teams that can greatly benefit from using Kanban boards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Management Teams: <\/strong>Project management teams often have a lot on their plate, with multiple projects and tasks to juggle simultaneously. Kanban boards provide a clear and organized way for project managers to track the progress of each project and ensure that all tasks are being completed efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/project-management\">Project Management Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/project-tracking\">Project Tracking Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/project-coordinators\">Project Coordinators Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/project-managers\">Project Managers Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing Teams: <\/strong>Marketing teams are constantly brainstorming ideas, creating campaigns, and tracking analytics. With so much going on, it&#8217;s easy for tasks to slip through the cracks. A Kanban board allows marketing teams to visually see all their projects and tasks in one place, making it easier to prioritize and stay on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/marketing\">Marketing Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/digital-marketers\">Digital Marketers Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/campaign-managers\">Campaign Managers Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/kanban-board\/market-analysts\">Market Analyst Kanban Board<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-how-clickup-kanban-boards-support-teams\">How ClickUp Kanban Boards Support Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ClickUp has helped countless teams streamline their project management processes. Check out how these real teams have used Kanban Boards in ClickUp to meet their goals: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-adhere-creative\">Adhere Creative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/customers\/adhere\">Adhere Creative<\/a>&nbsp;is a full-service B2B brand development and HubSpot Platinum Partner inbound marketing agency based out of Houston, TX. Here&#8217;s what they had to say about ClickUp: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The board view has been the most helpful since it mimics a Kanban board. Every morning during our stand up meetings we move all client projects across the board. It\u2019s a visual representation of where we currently are and where we want to go, as well as a helpful reminder across all departments.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The layout of individual to-do windows has also been extremely helpful. In just a few seconds we can identify what status the to-do is in, who it is assigned due, what the time estimate for the to-do is, due dates, attachments, and conversations around the project without digging or excessive scrolling. We previously came from Basecamp, and none of this was easily accessible if at all.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-5-star-commerce-\">5 Star Commerce <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/customers\/5-star-commerce\">Five Star Commerce<\/a> is a marketing firm that focuses on the Amazon platform to help grow sales for physical products and brands.&nbsp;Here&#8217;s what they had to say about ClickUp: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;At a different marketing firm I worked at, we used Trello, which I now cannot stand. It was not a good fit for our type of company at all. It didn\u2019t have recurring tasks and the board view, for me, is not a good way to sort high volumes of tasks. It made it very difficult for an employee to see exactly what they had to get done each day and lots of tasks would slip through the cracks.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cu-buttons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clickup.com\/login?_gl=1*100y6pf*_gcl_au*NjA0MzMyNjM1LjE3NDQ2MzcxOTE.\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--purple cu-button--improved\">Try ClickUp Board View<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project managers: Are you looking for an organizational system to prioritize your tasks and requests?
