# Boards for Agile Project Management (Premium feature)
|
|
|
|
Boards support agile project management methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban.
|
|
|
|
Boards can be for anything you would like to keep track of within your projects: Tasks to be done, Bugs to be fixed, Things to be reviewed, Features to be developed, Risks to be monitored, Ideas to be spread, anything!

## Agile Boards in OpenProject
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Create a new Board
|
|
|
|
You can create as many flexible boards in a project as you need and configure them to your needs. First, you need to create a new Boards view.
|
|
If you haven't done so yet, [activate the Boards module](../projects/project-settings/modules) within your project. Also, we recommend to verify [Roles and Permissions](https://www.openproject.org/help/administration/manage-roles-permissions/) within your system's Administration.
|
|
|
|
Click on the green **+Board** button to create a new Board view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Choose between Basic board and Action board
|
|
|
|
Next, you need to choose if you want to create a Basic board or an Action board.
|
|
|
|
**Basic board**: You can freely create lists, name them and order your work packages within. If you move work packages between the lists, there will be **NO changes** to the work package itself. This allows you to create flexible boards for any kind of activity you would like to track, e.g. Management of Ideas.
|
|
|
|
**Action board**: Create boards with filtered lists on a single attribute, e.g. Status. Moving work packages between the lists will update the attribute, e.g. Status. You can choose between Action boards for **Status** or **Versions**. More to be added soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Give the board a title
|
|
|
|
Choose a meaningful title for your Board so that it is clear, e.g. for other team members, what you want to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Add lists to your board
|
|
|
|
**Lists** usually represent a **status workflow**, a **version**, or **anything** that you would like to track within your project. You can add as many lists that you need to a Board.
|
|
|
|
**Action boards lists**: can be for Status, Versions, and more to come. Remember: if you change a card between the lists, the respective attribute (e.g. Status) will be updated automatically.
|
|
**Basic board lists**: you can create any kind of list and name them to your needs. Remember: no updates to the attributes will happen when moving cards between the lists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click **+ add list** to add lists to your board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Action board lists**: choose an attribute which the list shall represent, e.g. Status "In specification".
|
|
**Basic board lists**: give the list any meaningful name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remove lists
|
|
|
|
To remove lists, click on the three dots next to a list's title, and select **Delete list**.
|
|
|
|
## Add cards to a list
|
|
|
|
You can add cards to a list. Cards represent a [work package](https://docs.openproject.org/user-guide/work-packages/) in OpenProject. They can be any kind of work within a project, e.g. a Task, a Bug, a Feature, a Risk, anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click **+** under the lists' title to add a card: create a new card or choose an existing work package and add it as a card to your list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Add new card**: enter a title and click Enter.
|
|
**Add existing**: enter an existing title or an ID and click Enter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Update cards
|
|
|
|
You can update cards in the following ways:
|
|
|
|
**Move cards with drag and drop** within a list or to a new list. Remember: moving cards to another list in an Action board will update their attributes, e.g. Status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Update status** in a Basic board directly in the card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A **double click on a card** will open the **details view.** The **arrow** on top will bring you back to the boards view.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Remove cards
|
|
|
|
To remove a card from a **Basic board** hover over the card and press the **X**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cards from **Actions boards** will be removed automatically from a list as soon as the respective attribute (e.g. Status) is changed.
|
|
|
|
## Manage boards
|
|
|
|
To **create new** boards, **open existing** boards, or **delete** boards, navigate to the main Boards menu item.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verify and **update roles and permissions for boards** in the system's Administration.
