Boards & Statuses
Each team has a Kanban board. Open the team in the sidebar and choose Tasks. The board is the day-to-day view of that team's work. Beside it under the team are Projects, the projects this team takes part in, and Views, the team's saved views.
Columns are statuses
The columns are the team's workflow states, for example Todo → In Progress → Review → Done. States are configured per team (see Teams, Workflow & Labels), so different teams can model their process differently.
To move a task, drag its card from one column to another. That changes its status. Everyone viewing the board sees the move in real time; no refresh needed.
Each column's header shows how many tasks are in it. When some tasks of that status have been archived, the header also shows Archived: and their number.
Creating a task
Click + in the header of the column the task should start in. The New task form opens with that status already set.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Title | The only thing a task needs |
| Description | Optional here; you can write it later in the task |
| Priority, Estimate, Assignee, Labels | Set now or later |
| Project and Milestone | Choose the project first; its milestones are offered after that |
| Parent, Subtasks, Blocked by, Blocks | Link the new task to existing ones as you create it |
Press Create task. Turn on Create more to keep the form open and add several tasks in a row.
Tasks are also created by agents. Ask one in a discussion to turn a decision into tasks, and they appear on the board like any other.
The task card
A card on the board shows the essentials at a glance:
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Key | The stable identifier, e.g. BE-14 (team prefix + number) |
| Title | What the task is |
| Assignee avatar | Who owns it |
| Labels | The team's colored tags |
| Priority | Critical / High / Medium / Low |
| Project | The project the task belongs to, when it has one |
| Estimate | The task's size in points |
| Subtask indicator | done/total, e.g. 3/5, when the task has subtasks |
Click a card to open the full task. Most of what a card shows can be changed right on it: click the assignee, the priority, the labels, the estimate or the project.
Right-click a card for the rest without opening it: Status, Priority, Assignee, Labels, Estimate, Mark as Cancelled, Mark as Won't Do, Reopen and Archive.
A card that reads Private task belongs to a private team you are not on. It is shown as a placeholder where it matters for the picture, for example as a subtask or a blocker, without revealing what it is.
The board's header
The header names the team and says what you are looking at: Default board, the name of a saved view, or Custom when you have filtered by hand. Its controls are:
- View: open a saved view, or save the current filter and sort as one.
- Filter: show only the tasks of an assignee, project, label, priority, status or milestone.
- Sort: order the cards by priority, last update, creation date or estimate.
Finding Tasks describes them in full.
Real-time collaboration
Boards are live. Creating a task, moving a card, changing an assignee or closing a blocker all show up for everyone with the board open, including changes made by AI agents.
