**Boards** in OpenProject enable agile project management, i.e. Kanban. Boards consist of lists (columns) with cards (work packages) on it. They help to visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and maximize efficiency (or flow).

## What is a Board?
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Manage your work in a Board
|
|
|
|
To manage your work in an agile board, open the Boards module in the project menu.
|
|
|
|
1. Choose a board from the list where you want to work on. Open it by double clicking on the board's titel.
|
|
2. You can prioritize cards within a list via drag and drop.
|
|
3. You can add a card to a new list in the same way.
|
|
4. You can edit the details of a card by **double click**ing on the card.
|
|
5. Finally the arrow brings you back to the boards view.
