## Kanban boards

### A status board for agile teams to visualize and structure work and automate workflows

The advanced status board (Kanban) is probably the most used agile board. Start with the three basic status “new”, “in progress” and “closed” and see what status you might need according to your way of working.

With a Kanban board, you can implement the Kanban principle, and support agile and DevOps teams structure their daily work, and continuously optimizing their workflow.

A Kanban board is an agile project management tool that allows you to visualize tasks, limit ongoing (WIP) tasks and increase efficiency. When working with [Backlogs](https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/backlogs-scrum/), a Kanban board is automatically created with the start of a sprint.

## Team boards

### See who is working on what in a cross-functional team

In a cross-functional team you would like to know who is working on what and if everything is on track. The assignee board gives a clear overview of responsibilities, shows how busy the teams are and if all tasks are distributed.

Add team members or groups to the assignee board and visualize and distribute your team’s workload.

### Support your agile roadmap planning and product development

The advanced version board is a board with automated columns based on versions. Ideal for planning product development.

Manage your requirements, features, bugs and prioritize them for different product versions or releases in a visual approach.

Every list in this board represents a subproject. Within the list, you will find the subproject’s work packages.

## Work breakdown structure

### Create and visualize a work breakdown structure for your projects

Break your work down into smaller pieces. Add phases with corresponding child elements and add details, prioritize, see the status.
