task board

A board that visualizes planned work and shows the current state of each task so anyone can quickly see progress; commonly set up in a kanban-style format.

Key Points

  • Makes work and status visible with columns such as To Do, In Progress, and Done.
  • Cards represent tasks or stories and can include owners, due dates, and blockers.
  • Updated continuously by the team and reviewed in daily standups.
  • Improves transparency and flow; can include WIP limits similar to a kanban board.

Example

An Agile team uses a digital task board with columns for To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done. Each user story has subtasks as cards. During the daily standup, team members move cards to reflect progress and flag blockers directly on the board.
