The updated Kanban view in TaskRay, launched in April 2025, offers a cleaner design, smarter task organization by Priority, Owner, Project, or Task Group, a streamlined interface with customizable layouts and improved readability, and upcoming features like flexible row or column layouts and new grouping options, all aimed at enhancing project management from simple onboarding to complex initiatives.
Summary
“New Kanban” isn’t so new anymore—it launched back in April 2025. But with a cleaner design, smarter workflows, and several enhancements, it’s only getting better. If you haven’t explored it yet, now’s the time to dive in and see how it can transform the way your team manages projects.
Kanban is one of the most-loved views in TaskRay—and now it’s even more powerful. We’ve redesigned the Kanban experience with a focus on clarity, flexibility, and usability to help teams stay organized and easily manage work at scale.
The new Kanban experience isn’t just a visual refresh. It’s a reimagined interface built to better support the way you manage projects—from customer onboarding to complex cross-functional initiatives.
Here’s what’s new (and what’s coming)
Smarter Task Organization
Group tasks by Priority, Owner, Project, or Task Group to quickly visualize work across teams and stay focused on what matters most.
Streamlined Interface
We’ve reduced visual clutter, improved task card readability, and added new ways to control your layout—like hiding or showing preferred columns and previewing key task details at a glance.
Enhancements Ahead
Coming in the September 2025 release: Flexible Kanban Layouts introduces Row Layout, which lets you choose between traditional columns (board-style cards) or rows (list-style tasks). Additionally, we’re introducing new grouping options, such as Estimated End Date and List Status.
