Outline Icons for Kanban Boards – Visual Card Items

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide presents a collection of visual card item icons tailored for use on Kanban boards, encompassing Feature, Blocker, Markers, Team member, Limit, and Dynamics. The 'Feature' is represented by a basic card, implying a task or user story. 'Blocker' icons indicate issues preventing task completion, showing a card with a 'Blk' label and another card complemented by a red circle, symbolizing an impediment. 'Markers' use a card with a star and a figure to highlight significant items or assign ownership, whereas 'Team member' icons feature simplified human figures with initials, designating team allocation. 'Limits' are illustrated by numbered circles, delineating work-in-progress limits or task stages. 'Dynamics' icons convey progress or action through motion lines behind standard cards, suggesting workflow movement or expedited tasks.

Graphical Look

• The slide title is placed at the top in a large blue font with a decorative blue vertical line on the left.
• Six horizontal sections subdivide the content, each containing a text label and corresponding icons.
• The text labels are in black with a gray underline, categorizing the icon types: Feature, Blocker, Markers, Team member, Limits, and Dynamics.
• Icons for 'Feature' and 'Blocker' are variations of a rectangular card shape with a capital letter 'A' and additional symbols or text ('Blk', red circle).
• 'Markers' include the same card shape, augmented with a blue star or a blue person silhouette to signify distinction or assignment.
• 'Team member' icons represent people with blue silhouettes and 'PZ' initials in speech bubbles, suggesting member identification.
• 'Limits' are depicted with three red circular icons numbered 1, 2, and 3, arranged horizontally.
• 'Dynamics' show the card shape with multiple yellow lines streaking behind, conveying motion. Two versions illustrate either multiple cards or a single card suggesting different rates of task progression.

This PowerPoint slide has a clean and professional design, employing basic shapes and a limited color palette to communicate concepts swiftly. It uses iconography effectively to convey abstract concepts, making the slide visually engaging yet straightforward to understand.
