## 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 with lists and cards on it. A list usually represent a workflow, e.g. status or versions of a work package. The cards are work packages, e.g. tasks, on this list.
