FIFO (First in, first out) is a way of organizing and manipulating with data in terms of time and priority. This expression describes the principle of technical queuing or conflict handling by arranging the process according to the "first-come, first-served" principle (FCFS). Whoever comes first is served first, whoever comes next waits until the first one is finished, and so on.
For example, you can use different lanes for your internal clients (e.g. lawyers, marketing and sales), then you can set different limits for each lane (the marketing department can add 3 tasks and sales only 2).
This is a good approach to balancing interests, but which task do you need to do first?
Here's a FIFO to help you out. Take task number 1 each time (when it moves to the next column, all the numbers are reduced by one).
Sometimes you may need to work on urgent tasks first. Simply create a separate lane for them.
