Your own columns and work-in-progress limits.
Name your own columns, set a work-in-progress limit on any of them, and view the same issues as a board or a list. Epics show one progress figure even when the work runs across several sprints.
Not a fixed To do, Doing and Done. Rename them, add your own, and cap the ones that matter. The limit sits on the column header, where somebody about to break it will see it.
The board
Your columns and their limits.
Every card shows its ID, its priority and its issue type, plus its epic and due date when it has them. Each column header shows how many issues it holds, and if you have set a limit, the count against that limit.
Work-in-progress limits show right on the column headers.
Build the board around how your team works.

Who can do what.
Everybody moves their own issues. Renaming a column or setting a limit changes how the whole team works, so that belongs to whoever owns delivery.

Admin is the highest role and is not limited by these permissions, so keep it to the few people who genuinely need it.
One issue, start to finish
Follow one issue across the board.
The column limit was visible before anyone dragged a card over it. The standup summary came straight from the board, and the finished points counted toward an epic that had been running for three sprints.
The column header showed 4 of 5, one short of its limit.
