Board

Kanban board with drag-and-drop task management across status columns

Kanban Board

The board provides a visual overview of task progress in the active sprint. Tasks are displayed as cards organized into columns by status. Drag and drop cards between columns to update their status.

Board Columns

The board displays four status columns matching the task lifecycle:

ColumnDescription
TODOTasks that have not been started yet
IN_PROGRESSTasks currently being worked on
IN_REVIEWTasks completed and awaiting review or testing
DONETasks that are finished and accepted

Using the Board

Drag and Drop

Click and drag a task card from one column to another to update its status. The status change is saved immediately and reflected across all views.

Task Cards

Each card on the board shows:

  • Task title and ID
  • Task type icon (Task, Bug, Story, Improvement, Ticket Escalation)
  • Priority indicator (color-coded)
  • Assignee avatar
  • Story points (if set)

Filtering

Filter the board to focus on specific work:

  • Assignee -- show only tasks assigned to a specific team member
  • Type -- filter by task type (Bug, Story, etc.)
  • Priority -- show only high-priority or critical items
  • Search -- find tasks by title or ID

Sprint Context

The board always shows tasks from the currently active sprint. If no sprint is active, the board will be empty. Start a sprint from the Sprints page to populate the board.

Inline editing

The board lets you build and organise work without leaving the page or opening a modal.

Add a task inline

Every sprint and the backlog has an "Add task…" row at the bottom. Click it to reveal an inline form where you can set the task name, epic, assignee, and estimated hours, then press Enter (or the ↵ button) to create it. The form stays open and refocused so you can add several tasks in a row.

The epic picker defaults to the epic most tasks in that section already use, so you usually only need to type a name. An epic is required — a task only appears on a project board when it belongs to one of the project's epics.

Tasks added to a sprint row are placed in that sprint; tasks added to the backlog row stay unscheduled. Completed sprints do not show the add-task row.

Assign an epic inline

Click a task's epic chip (or the "+ Epic" affordance on a task with no epic) to open a dropdown of the project's epics. Pick one to reassign the task immediately — the change is saved and the row re-groups under its new epic.

Quick Actions

From the board, you can:

  • Click a card to open the task detail view
  • Assign a task by clicking the assignee area on the card
  • Create a new task directly in a sprint or the backlog using the inline "Add task…" row
  • Assign an epic by clicking the task's epic chip
