Task management overview
What is a board?
A board in task management is a powerful tool for visualizing and organizing tasks. It helps you track progress, prioritize work, and collaborate effectively with your team. By using boards and customizing them to fit your workflow, you can improve productivity and ensure that tasks are completed efficiently.
What is a stage?
Task management stages help you organize and categorize your tasks at different stages of progress. These stages can be used to create a workflow, allowing tasks to be moved across each step in the process from start to finish. They can also act as a place to keep track of ideas and information. You can add as many stages as you want to a board and arrange and title them according to your preferences.

The number of tasks you can add to a board is unlimited.
