          [JSWSERVER-2521] As a project manager I would like to spread one Kanban WIP limit across multiple subcolumns

          Azure Boards has this feature: [Manage columns on your board - Azure Boards | Microsoft Learn|https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/boards/add-columns?view=azure-devops]

          It would be greatly beneficial for teams utilising Kanban to be able to segment columns and focus more on flow.

          It was really surprising that Jira doesn't let us to set a single WIP limit on a kanban board. When I've read about it, that seems to be how most people does kanban. And this ticket having been here for 14 years... Wow, can't really expect much to happen.

          This was the first issue I've looked at in the Jira backlog, hope I never find anything really critical that we need, I won't expect it to be corrected.

          +1 - without this feature - makes it near impossible to fully implement KanBan (as explained by Eric Brechner).

          As a tool that promote Kanban template, you should certainly support Kanban practice WIP limit for multiple columns and PULL mechanism. 

          And user is not PM, user here is a Kanban team

          I opened a corresponding ticket for the Cloud version of Jira: JRACLOUD-77822

          Another vote, this is a very important distinction to be able to make in an actual Kanban board

          It would also be great to have a new Jira's status... almost 5 years later!

          It's really hard to implement the pull approach when there is no done sub-column to clearly show a task is waiting. So without this feature I can't tell my teams that Jira supports Kanban, it's more a todo list feature Trello-like. Super frustrated to have to use and pay for other tools. Please just implement such a feature that will help all teams to better practice lean.

          Hey to all who are watching this issue. Just FYI, I've been reaching out to friends and colleagues, agile coaches, teams we coach, etc, to vote this item up. I challenge all of you to do the same. Provide a VERY simple instruction to create an account, and to vote. Tell them it takes no more than 2 minutes.  Simple! How many votes can we get? It seems like getting to 400 is a milestone...can we get there? Higher? This item has been on the backlog for far too long!
