Introduction. The article describes the experience of organizing group work of students when designing the design of a web page or application. A kanban board was proposed to manage the task execution process by the teams.

Materials and Methods. The analysis of the literature on flexible technologies allowed us to formulate the advantages of the kanban board and the possibility of using this approach in the educational process. To perform group work, a creative task for designing the design of a website or application is proposed. The test of R.M. Belbin is proposed as a basis for the distribution of roles in the team. Based on the test results, the participants chose their roles, formed a stack of tasks and visualized them in the form of a kanban board.

Results. The input and final testing of team members for compliance with their expectations about group work are analyzed. There was an acceptance by the participants of their role in the team, active communication with both team members and a mentor. At the end of the experiment, the teams completed the task in a timely manner, organized a productive reflection of their own results.

Discussion. When organizing group work, we consider it important to use voluntary division into teams, the distribution of roles in a team based on testing or as a result of observing a group of students; when performing a project, it is necessary to record tasks in a visual form (for example, a kanban board). At the end of the task, it is necessary to carry out reflection, identify the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions presented.

Conclusion. The effectiveness of group work is based on the personal contribution of each team member, as well as visualization and control of the tasks performed. The use of information technology, in particular the FigJam application, allows you to manage group work. Our research can be adapted not only for the student team, but also for the group work of high school students in the framework of additional education.

Group work of students in the implementation of creative projects contributes to the development of “flexible” skills, such as communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, managing their own time and other personality qualities that are quite in demand in today's rapidly changing world;

As a visualization of the group work process, a kanban board can be used, representing the display of the phased completion of tasks by all team members;

It is advisable to identify the distribution of roles in the group using testing so that each participant internally has no resistance to the role assigned to him.
