Boards overview#

A board is a Kanban board for tracking a project's work — columns like To Do / In Progress / Done with cards you drag between them as the work moves along.

Each project has at most one board. The board lives inside the project, so anyone with access to the project can see it; their role on the project controls what they can change.

Creating a board#

You can set up the board two ways:

• When you create the project — the create-project wizard has a Board step. Pick a starter layout (Kanban or Blank) and finish, or hit Skip for now to create the project without one.
• Later — open the project's Board tab (also reachable from Manage project → Board). If there's no board yet, owners and admins see a Create board button.

Cards#

A card is a unit of work. Click Add card in any column, or click an existing card to edit it. A card has:

• A title and optional description.
• An optional assignee — chosen from the project's members.
• An optional priority — Low, Medium or High.
• Free-form labels.

Drag a card to another column to move it. Changes save immediately. Anyone who is a developer or above can add, edit and move cards. Viewers see the board read-only.

Columns#

Owners and admins manage the board's columns:

• Add a column with the Add column button at the end of the board.
• Rename or delete a column from the menu in its header.
• Set an optional WIP limit — the card count turns red when a column goes over its limit.

Deleting a column also deletes its cards.

Connecting to Jira#

If the project is linked to a Jira project, owners and admins can mirror Jira issues onto the board as cards. See Jira sync.
