Outline Icons for Kanban Boards - Sticky Note Card Items

Slide Content

The PowerPoint slide is titled "Outline Icons for Kanban Boards - Sticky Note Card Items" and it illustrates examples of icons used for kanban board cards. These include feature notes, blockers, and markers, with variations like a star, a pin, and dynamic lines indicating movement or activity. Feature notes are depicted as simple colored sticky notes with letters "A" and "B" to represent different tasks or features. Blocker items show a sticky note with the word "Blk" and a red circle symbol to highlight critical issues or impediments. Lastly, markers consist of a star and a pin icon, adding a visual cue for prioritization or categorization, while the dynamic lines suggest ongoing tasks or a sequence of actions.
