Editorial Calendar Kanban Board Template

How to Use:

• At the beginning of the month, Content Strategy creates a new Task identifying the month’s theme in the Notes column.

• If there are any subthemes, Content Strategy creates new Tasks identifying those subthemes in the corresponding column (e.g., WEEK 1, WEEK 2).

• Content Strategy creates new Tasks for content deliverables and adds them to the appropriate week of the month: WEEK 1, WEEK 2, WEEK 3, or WEEK 4.

• When a Content Creator begins work on a Task, they assign it to themself and label it as “In Process.”

• When the work is complete, the Content Creator changes the label to “Ready for Review.”

• If the work is approved, the reviewer changes the label to “Ready for Publication.” If the work is not approved, the reviewer changes the label to “Needs Edits,” and leaves feedback in the Task about what needs to be changed.

• When a Task is given the “Ready for Publication” label, the Content Creator publishes the content and changes the Task label to “Published.”

• At the end of the month, Content Strategy archives the board and creates a new board with the next month’s theme.
