Agile / Kanban
Move work through a process with interactive cards.
The Challenge
Managing legal work as it flows through defined stages requires real-time visibility into work in progress, clear ownership at each step, and quick identification of bottlenecks. Without visual workflow management, teams track progress in static spreadsheets that become outdated immediately. Partners lack visibility into what’s blocked versus actively moving, team members duplicate effort or miss handoffs, and process improvements rely on anecdotal feedback rather than flow metrics. Traditional matter management tools focus on static task lists rather than dynamic workflow progression.
How Lupl Solves This
Lupl provides interactive kanban boards that visualize work moving through your defined process stages. Create matters with workstreams configured as kanban boards where each row appears as a card that team members move across columns representing workflow stages (intake, review, approval, execution, complete). Custom workstreams define the columns, card fields, assignees, and completion criteria for each stage. Team members drag cards between stages in real time, triggering automations that notify next owners, update timestamps, and escalate stalled items. Real-time dashboards show progress and status. Use kanban views for any legal process requiring flow management and continuous improvement.
