Make sure that you never go over the number of items you set in your WIP limit.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 4:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When a task is complete, drag it over to the \u201cDone\u201d list, and move another task from \u201cTo-Do\u201d into \u201cDoing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Just like how agile project management works in Microsoft Project, Zenkit also enables you to continue working from any view instantly.
