project boards

Work organization displays

Project boards are visual tools for organizing and tracking work, displaying tasks as cards arranged in columns representing stages of progress—typically something like "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done." Teams move cards across columns as work advances: We use a project board to keep everyone aligned on priorities.

Digital versions like Trello and Jira have made project boards ubiquitous in software development and other collaborative work.
