+Kanban - Stage Support
+======================
+
+This module provides a stage model compatible with Kanban views and the 
+standard views needed to manage these stages. It also provides the 
+``base.kanban.abstract`` model, which can be inherited to add support for 
+Kanban views with stages to any other model. Lastly, it includes a base Kanban 
+view that can be extended as needed.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+To install this module, simply follow the standard install process.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+No configuration is needed or possible.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+* Inherit from ``base.kanban.abstract`` to add Kanban stage functionality to 
+  the child model:
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+    class MyModel(models.Model):
+        _name = 'my.model'
+        _inherit = 'base.kanban.abstract'
+        
+* Extend the provided base Kanban view (``base_kanban_abstract_view_kanban``) 
+  as needed by the child model while making sure to set the ``mode`` to
+  ``primary`` so that inheritance works properly. The base view has four
+  ``name`` attributes intended to provide convenient XPath access to different
+  parts of the Kanban  card. They are ``card_dropdown_menu``, ``card_header``,
+  ``card_body``, and ``card_footer``:
+
+  .. code-block:: xml
+
+    <record id="my_model_view_kanban" model="ir.ui.view">
+        <field name="name">My Model - Kanban View</field>
+        <field name="model">my.model</field>
+        <field name="mode">primary</field>
+        <field name="inherit_id" ref="base_kanban_stage.base_kanban_abstract_view_kanban"/>
+        <field name="arch" type="xml">
+            <xpath expr="//div[@name='card_header']">
+                <!-- Add header content here -->
+            </xpath>
+            <xpath expr="//div[@name='card_body']">
+                <!-- Add body content here -->
+            </xpath>
+        </field>
+    </record>
+
+* To manage stages, go to Settings > Technical > Kanban > Stages.

+
+Known Issues / Roadmap
+======================
+
+* The grouping logic used by ``base.kanban.abstract`` currently does not 
+  support additional domains and alternate sort orders
