Boards and tasks

Boards hold lists of cards (tasks) that you drag along as work moves.

Make a board

1. + New›Board.
2. Start blank, or from Kanban, Sprint or Bug tracker.

Add and move tasks

• Click Add a card at the bottom of a list, type a title, press Enter.
• Drag cards between lists. Drag lists to reorder them.
• Click a card to open it: description, assignees, labels, dates, points, milestone, attachments and comments.
• Mark a card complete with its checkbox.

Switch the View between Board, List and Deck. Filter by member, label, role, due date or completion.

Subtasks

Every task can have subtasks, as deep as you need.

• In a card, under Subtasks, type and press Enter.
• Double-click a card (or ShiftEnter) to open its subtasks as a full board. Alt↑ goes back up.

A task with subtasks is worth the sum of their points, and completing it completes them.

Milestones

Milestones group work toward a date (a demo, a festival, launch) and show on the Home roadmap and the calendar.

1. Project settings›Milestones›New milestone, with a name and a target date.
2. Pick it in a task’s (or a whole board’s) Milestone field.

Deck mode

Deck mode deals out work like cards, so nobody takes on more than they can do in a week.

1. Everyone sets their roles and action points per week in their profile.
2. Give tasks points and the roles they need.
3. Switch the board’s view to Deck.
4. Draw at random (it leans toward overdue work and your roles) or Browse and pick. Cards go into your hand up to your weekly budget.
5. At the start of each week, review your hand: keep unfinished cards or put them back to the pile.

The table shows everyone’s hand, and History shows points played against budget each week.

Link code to a task

In a card, Link a submission: paste a pull request, commit or changelist URL. You can mark the task complete at the same time.
