Overview​

Boards visually track work progress with columns for statuses like "To Do" and "Done."

  • Workflow: Issues move through stages (e.g., To Do → Done).
  • Moving Issues: Drag issue cards across columns to update progress.

Moving Issue Cards​

These board columns have headers at the top representing the status of each issue. For example, statuses could be:

  • To Do
  • In Progress
  • In Review
  • Done

Issues can move forward and backward in a workflow, depending on how the work gets done.

Board Names​

Boards are part of projects and named after teams or deliverables.

  • Boards exist within projects and may have multiple boards.
  • Board names focus on teams or deliverables.

Board Views​

To view all your boards, use the left project sidebar and select the board dropdown. Projects can have multiple boards, often named after deliverables.
