How do you decide what gets placed on a specific Kanban board? In our Jira setup we use for scrum we basically have kanban boards per team (1 team = 1 jira project) for daily work in between sprint plannings. That means we basically have everything on there and swim lanes are helpful to keep track on what needs to get discussed in dailies (unassigned, high prio and not yet groomed, in progress or review and assigned to team -> Today lane; then we just have current sprint lane and everything else lane).

For your workflow usually unassigned, to groom, in progress, review, done would be separate columns and the priority would be mapped to the order of the cards in the column.

In order of work assignment, traditional kanban is that when a person completes a task they then take the top card and work on that.

traditional Kanban wouldn't really work for us I guess since there are operational issues that can come in between development work. to give context, I work closely together with financial reporting team and they are also organized through Jira.
