Task board is one of the commonly used tools in agile project management. It’s a board (white-board, cork-board) with some kind of columns (representing the task state – todo, in progress, done, etc…) and some cards (representing stories or tasks).
To get more detailed idea (with some pictures worth much more than this boring description) just have a look at those articles here:
You should note that there are some ‘electronic’ or ‘on-line’ task board solutions mentioned out there.
There are even very creative ideas of on-line shared task boards, like this one (Sharing your task board across the globe) based on sticky-notes placed on a remote desktop ;)
Taskboard is a web application that allows you to create customizable on-line task boards for your planning. It really doesn’t matter if you just need a simple one to track your own To Do list or a big one to plan iterations of your project and track progress of stories described in JIRA.
The core functionality of Taskboard is extremely simple:
- ability to create new task board
- ability to create and reorder columns within the task board
- ability to add and reorder cards within the task board
Taskboard should be as easy to use as possible, so user interface has be intuitive, pretty and fun to use.
To help managing the cards each of them not only has a title written on it, but also:
- has a notes field where you can keep some more detailed information
- has a background colour,
- can have some tags assigned to it.
These features can be used in any way that suits your needs. We don’t force you to use red colour to mark blocked issues or tags to write who is working on the story. It’s just like using coloured pins on a real task board or writing on story cards.
Because the main reason behind Taskboard is an agile development planning tool it also has some features to track ideal hours for each card and showing burndown charts for stories and whole task board.
