How to create a board

Creating a board in Leanbase is quick and intuitive. Begin by choosing a template or starting from scratch, customizing the layout and fields to fit your workflow. Organize tasks, add members, and configure roles to streamline collaboration and project management.

In Leanbase, a board is a workspace designed to organize and manage tasks or projects visually. It acts as a central hub where tasks are displayed in customizable views like Kanban, List, or Timeline, allowing teams to collaborate efficiently. Boards support custom fields, statuses, tasktypes,… enabling tailored workflows for different projects.
