Use the Kanban board

The Kanban board shows a project’s tasks as cards in five status columns: To Do, In Progress, Review, Done, and Blocked. It is the fastest way to update status during a standup: drag the card, the task is updated, and the project’s progress rollup recalculates.

Move work

1. Open a project and select the Kanban tab in the Work section.

2. Drag a card into another column to change its status. The change saves immediately; there is no separate confirm step.

3. Select a card to open the full task and edit anything else (assignee, dates, subtasks, dependencies).

Filter, search, and sort

The board has its own toolbar:

• Search narrows the board to matching cards.
• Filters let you show only certain priorities, or only one assignee’s cards.
• Sort orders the cards inside each column by Priority, Due Date, or Title, or leaves the board in its Default order.

Filter combinations you use often can be saved and re-applied from the board’s saved-filters control, the same idea as saved views on the Projects page (see Organize the Projects page).

Tidy the board

Columns can be collapsed individually, and the board remembers which ones you collapsed per project. Teams that rarely use Review, for example, collapse it and get the space back.

Bulk actions

Select several cards to act on all of them at once: set a status, a priority, or an assignee in one stroke. This is the quickest way to sweep a sprint’s leftovers back to To Do or hand a batch of work to a teammate.

Tip

Drag a card into Blocked the moment something stalls. The red column is the board’s most valuable signal, and it only works if blocked work actually lands there instead of quietly idling in In Progress.

FAQs

Can I add a column or rename the statuses? The five columns mirror the task statuses, which are fixed. Keeping the lanes consistent is what makes boards comparable across projects and keeps the progress rollup meaningful.

Why can’t I drag cards? Dragging updates the task, so it requires task-edit rights in the project. Viewers see the board read-only.

Do subtasks appear on the board? The board shows top-level tasks as cards; a card’s subtasks are managed inside the task itself. This keeps the board at the level you plan and report on.
