Kanban Board with Subitems as Cards

Please allow for subitem based cards with column based swim lanes.

I’ve been building agile teams for over 15 years and was asked to upgrade a new org at a company whose leadership loves Monday.com. I was shocked to find out that Monday.com “Kanban Board” and “Cards” boards do not allow my groups to actually apply the Kanban / Scrum sticky note methodology without first changing all subitems into items. I have seen this post that asked for this feature but (I believe) Monday.com misconstrued it to mean “I want to see subitems” as opposed to “cards need to be discreet tasks that could be completed in as few as one day chunks”. I’m glad that there now is a “Kanban Board”, but it is not a “Kanban Board” if it is limited to top level items. It is also of very limited utility if you cannot see the status of the subitems even by expanding the subitems in a card.

This is a fundamental of Kanban / Scrum (and hybrids). Using the current view, a project that takes many weeks (build integrated AI/MLOps CI/CD pipeline) would render the Kanban or Cards Board for standups useless and no one would be moving anything from “Doing” to “Done” for weeks or possibly months. Please fix as this is going to force us to use Jira or Trello or something else outside of Monday.com and attempt to stand up integration (which invariably require updating some things manually across the two systems). Cards should be able to exist at the most granular subitem/task tracked.

Note, if you can create this using the “Cards” view or similar, I cannot seem to find out how.

Thank you.
