I use github's kanban board and like the concept of Kanban overall. Some people don't realise that Kanban is quite the opposite of Scrum. One variation that has worked for me / peers over the years is having a "Next 5" column. i.e. something bigger than Current but smaller than the backlog. That enables always having a practical, prioritized mid-term plan (assuming you regularly tweak the Next 5 selection). At the same time you don't stress about a supposed deadline for forthcoming work. You just pick the next card, only when the current one is done. That's called "Flexibility in prioritization" as per asyncmanifesto.
