Represent how your team gets things done

Configure your board to best suit your team’s workflow. Within the board, you can customize columns and statuses to prevent bottlenecks, optimize your team’s capacity, and closely track progress. You can also plan and prioritize upcoming work and group progress by a variety of categories.


After this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Organize your board’s columns so they reflect each stage your team’s work will require.
  • Map work statuses within each column.
  • Plan and prioritize upcoming work using kanban and scrum backlogs.
  • View work progress within categories, like project or assignee, using swimlanes.
