I'm part of a research team and we do different tasks. For example, we might research tasks(i.e. read literature, implement algorithms,etc) or development tasks (e.g. set up server, deploy website, etc) or administrative tasks (e.g. process procurement, payroll, get equipment quotations etc). My problem is that the different task types have different flows and having to accommodate them on one board makes the board confusing.

Would we be better off having the three different categories(research, development, administrative) in different boards? Team's composed of five people by the way (one admin staff, two researchers, one developer).

EDIT: Here are some sample flows

Research

Literature review > Design > Prototyping > Presentation

Development

Analysis > Design > Dev > Testing > Deployment

Admin

Preparation > Signing > Accounting > Technical Review > Procurement Office > Bidding

Do we need different Kanban boards for different task categories? (i.e. admin, development, research)
