When we add a card to the board, the default value for the Type field is Task. We show the swimlane for uncategorized cards at the bottom of the board.

Swimlanes are identified by issues that are assigned the Epic value in the Type field. We have separate columns for Open, Reopened (merged), In Progress, In Review, Ready, and Published. We pull all of our issues from the backlog, so we don’t use any options that add issues to the board automatically.Ĭolumns are identified by values from the State field. This board uses sprints that correspond to major releases in YouTrack and Hub, however, we only assign each sprint a name.

In the first episode of Baking Boards, we show you how our technical writers cooked (that is, configured) their agile board to manage documentation tasks for YouTrack and Hub.

We also include a recipe to follow if you want to “bake” a board just like it. Each episode shows you how one of our teams manages a project on an agile board that supports their process. You’ll see examples from Product Development, Design, Marketing, Technical Writing, and even a personal board.
