Kanban Boards

Every project starts with four sensible default columns — To Do, In Progress, Done, Blocked — and you can rename, reorder, or add your own whenever the default doesn't fit.

Illustrative workflow

Step 1
Start with the defaults
Every new project opens with 4 default board columns, so there's nothing to configure before you can start adding tasks.
Step 2
Customize the columns per project
Rename a column, reorder them, or add new ones — each project's board can look different from the next.
Step 3
Drag tasks across the board
Move tasks between columns by dragging; position is saved so the board looks the same next time anyone opens it.

How It Works

Start with the defaults

Every new project opens with 4 default board columns, so there's nothing to configure before you can start adding tasks.

Customize the columns per project

Rename a column, reorder them, or add new ones — each project's board can look different from the next.

Drag tasks across the board

Move tasks between columns by dragging; position is saved so the board looks the same next time anyone opens it.

Why It Matters

No setup required to get a usable board on day one

Every team's process is a little different — the board should match theirs, not the other way around

One column can be marked 'done,' which is what drives completion-rate reporting

Works the same for a solo user's personal board and a 10-person team project

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all projects have to use the same columns?

No — board columns are set per project, so a support-ticket board and a product-launch board can look completely different.

Is there a limit to how many columns I can add?

There's no hard limit — most teams find 4-6 columns keeps a board readable.

How is this different from a custom workflow?

Board columns track a task's status inside one project; a workflow tracks the project's own stage. See the Custom Workflows feature page for the distinction.
