Manage the work in progress (WIP) limit on the Kanban board
You can configure a Work In Progress (WIP) limit for each column on the Kanban board, as described in the article Configure Kanban.
The WIP limit is simply a visual warning and does not restrict your team from having more items in each status column than the limit you set.
