Taskboards for Agile Projects
Firstly, the taskboard provides clear visibility of items within the current Sprint that the development team are currently working on or have completed. There may also be items in the ‘To do’ list on the taskboard. The typical taskboard will have four columns, ‘To Do’, ‘In Progress’, ‘Accept’ and finally ‘Done’.
Adding additional columns may also assist with clarity of the workflow. The ‘To Do’ column includes all of the user stories and also the tasks that are required for completion of the Sprint and have not yet been started. The ‘In Progress’ column shows all of the user stories and also the tasks that the development team is currently working on.
Then the ‘Accept’ column includes all of the completed user stories that are waiting for acceptance from the product owner. Finally, the ‘Done’ column includes all of the accepted user stories.
