A board displays items from one or more entities, giving you a flexible way of viewing, managing, and reporting on work in progress. A board can represent a Team work, a date period across multiple projects or teams, or value streams for the organization, and allows you to manage different work management methodology—Hybrid agile, Kanban, Scrum, or Scaled Agile for Enterprise (SAFe).
You can use a board that someone else has created, or create your own—you can create as many boards as you like. Projects, Milestones, Tasks, Portfolios, and Cases can have multiple boards.
There are different types of Boards in the application:
- List boards: displays the list of items (tasks, projects, portfolios, milestones, cases, bugs, requests, issues, and risks). List boards can be general or team-centric.
- Item Detail boards: Accessible when navigating by drilling down in any specific item; Item detail views display and enable managing information in context to that item (A specific project, Portfolio, a milestone, a task, request etc.).
