# Workflow Examples

This demo showcases different workflow scenarios and best practices for using Kanbn in various development environments.

## Solo Developer Workflow

### Daily Workflow

```bash
# Start your day
kanbn chat "Show me my tasks for today"
kanbn list --assignee me --status "In Progress"

# Update task status
kanbn task move setup-environment "In Progress"
kanbn task comment setup-environment "Setting up development environment"

# Track progress
kanbn progress
kanbn chat "What should I focus on next?"
```

### Project Planning

```bash
# Generate project tasks
kanbn chat "Help me plan tasks for my personal blog project"

# Organize tasks

kanbn milestone add "MVP Release"
kanbn task link blog-setup --milestone mvp-release
```

## Team Workflow

# Plan sprint tasks
kanbn chat "Help plan tasks for Sprint 1"
kanbn sprint add-task user-authentication
kanbn sprint add-task api-endpoints

# Assign tasks
kanbn task assign user-authentication alice
kanbn task assign api-endpoints bob
```

### Code Review Process

```bash
# Move task to review
kanbn task move user-authentication "Code Review"
kanbn task comment user-authentication "Ready for review - PR #123"

# Review feedback
kanbn task add-review user-authentication \
  --reviewer charlie \
  --status approved \
  --comment "Code looks good, minor style fixes needed"

# Complete review

kanbn report burndown
```

## Client Project Workflow

### Client Communication

```bash
# Generate client report
kanbn report client --sprint current
kanbn chat "Generate progress summary for client meeting"

# Track client requests
kanbn task add "Update homepage design" \
  --type "client-request" \
  --priority high \
  --requested-by "client-name"

# Milestone tracking
kanbn milestone progress "Phase 1"
kanbn report milestone --format markdown
```

### Release Management

```bash
# Prepare release
kanbn release create v1.0.0
kanbn release add-tasks v1.0.0 --tag release-1.0

# Generate release notes
kanbn chat "Generate release notes for v1.0.0"
kanbn report release v1.0.0 --format markdown

# Track deployment
kanbn task add "Deploy v1.0.0" \
  --type deployment \
  --depends-on "run-tests,update-docs"
```

## Agile Workflow

### Sprint Management

```bash
# Sprint planning
kanbn sprint plan --capacity 50
kanbn chat "Suggest task priorities for sprint"

# Daily activities
kanbn standup start
kanbn list --sprint current
kanbn progress --sprint current

# Sprint review
kanbn sprint review
kanbn report retrospective
```

### Backlog Refinement

```bash
# Organize backlog
kanbn backlog sort --priority
kanbn chat "Help refine backlog items"

# Story points
kanbn task set user-auth points 5
kanbn sprint capacity
```

## DevOps Workflow

### CI/CD Integration

```bash
# Track deployments
kanbn task add "Deploy to staging" \
  --type deployment \
  --environment staging

# Monitor status
kanbn task status deployment-123
kanbn list --environment production
```

### Infrastructure Management

```bash
# Track infrastructure tasks
kanbn task add "Update AWS resources" \
  --type infrastructure \
  --priority high

# Monitor changes
