Design a Kanban board. Type of work: [WORK_TYPE]. Team size: [TEAM_SIZE]. Current process steps: [PROCESS_STEPS]. Common delays: [DELAYS].

Produce: columns that match the real workflow (not a copy of a template) with entry and exit rules; work-in-progress limits per column with the reasoning (for example team size + 1 overall, tuned by observation); card fields (title, owner, due date, type, blocked flag); work types and class of service (urgent, standard, fixed date); swimlanes if useful; and a policy list (pull rules, how to handle blockers, how to add urgent work).

Add metrics: cycle time (completion minus start), throughput per week, work in progress, blocked time; how to measure them from the board with an example calculation; a weekly flow review agenda (15 minutes); and improvement steps. Include a starter board layout in text and common mistakes.

Give the work-in-progress limits as numbers with the reasoning, define what 'blocked' means and how long a card may stay blocked before escalation, and provide two sample cards to show the fields filled in.
