    You have 3 lanes, TODO, DOING, DONE.

    Have a max of Work In progress that can be in the DOING lane based on size of team. Once that limit is hit, nothing else can move into the DOING lane, if other's are finished, they go help others until work starts moving into the DONE lane.

    DONE means DONE, if it needs QA, Documentation, install script, whatever, it stays in DOING until it's truly DONE.

    I assume you've briefed yourself about Kanban by reading its Wikipedia article or something similar. "Kanban in Action" by Marcus Hammarberg and Joakim Sunden is a very good read if you're just starting to learn about Kanban.

    I personally recommend free e-book:

    "Kanban and Scrum - Making the Most of Both" by Mattias Skarin , Henrik Kniberg:

    I personally liked “Kanban: Successful Evolutionary Change for Your Technology Business”, by David J. Anderson.
