Agile Boards in OpenProject support teams in their agile project management methodology, e.g. Scrum or Kanban.
You can create as many flexible boards as you want with both lists and cards on it. A list usually represents a workflow, e.g. status or version of a work package. The cards are work packages, e.g. tasks, on this list.
With Gantt charts in OpenProject you can create and manage a project plan and share the information with your team. You can schedule your tasks and visualize the required steps to complete your project. As a project manager you are directly informed about delays in your project and can act accordingly.
A work package in OpenProject can basically be everything you need to keep track off within your projects. It can be e.g. a task, a feature, a bug, a risk, a milestone or a project phase. This different kinds of work packages are called work package types.
To **create a new custom field** navigate to -> *Administration* -> *Custom fields* and select the section for which you will create a new custom field, e.g. for work packages.
## Add table of related work packages to a work package form
Also, you can add a table of related work packages to your work package form. Click the green **+ Group** button and choose **Add table of related work package** from the drop-down list.
The new Boards are tightly integrated with all other project management functionalities in OpenProject, i.e. [work packages](#work-pages) or [Gantt charts](#gantt-charts). This makes it so easy and practical to include the Boards in your daily project management routines and to gain a much quicker overview of important topics in your project.

To schedule work packages in the Gantt chart there is an **automatic scheduling mode (default)** and a **manual scheduling mode** (new in [release 11.0](../../../release-notes/11-0-0)). To add dependencies between work packages you can set them as predecessor or follower in the Gantt chart. The automatic and manual scheduling modes influence the work packages' behaviour when changing dates of other related work packages.
