Hi Michael,

Nice details.

Might I suggest you consider

1) dropping "todo"? When you assign something it moves from backlog to
in-progress.
2) only assigning items to people when they are free to work on them
(this is a bit harder).  Pragmatically you have to assign (or target)
a few items for each person each month so they know what to work on.

This would simplify your working model.

An alternative approach is to split the backlog lane into two:
unassigned and assigned.  Then you'd have backlog, in-progress, done,
blocked, postponed.  In progress again would show only the stuff that
folks are actively working on.
