Let me pull up a draft board: It is comprised of vertical swimlanes where each lane stands for a phase in the sprint execution. Horizontally, it contains the sprint items.

The scrum master has to help the team in a smooth flow of sprint items through continuous collaboration, discussion, and focused approach. The additional information to cover-up the Kanban can be:
You can even mention the metrics around the Kanban board. The Kanban board serves as an information radiator for the team and outside the team (stakeholders + management). |
