Using the Kanban Board

The board shows your DevOps issues as cards in columns by status, so you move work forward by dragging. It groups subtasks under their parent in swimlanes and lets you edit, add, and check off work without leaving the board.

Open the board

In the sidebar, open the DevOps group and click Board.

Columns and swimlanes

  • Cards are arranged in three columns by status: To Do, In Progress, and Done.
  • Each parent issue, such as an epic or story, is a swimlane row with its subtasks spread across the columns. Issues without a parent appear in an orphans row.

Move work forward

Drag a card to another column to change its status, or within a column to reorder it. When you move a parent issue, you can choose whether to move its subtasks with it.

Add and edit on the board

  • Use quick add in a column under a parent to create a subtask in place.
  • Add a parent issue with Create, or Create with AI when enabled.
  • Edit a card inline: change its type, assignee, story points, or release, or double-click the summary to rename it.

Focus with filters

Search and filter by assignee to focus the board, and clear the filters to see everything again. Collapse a swimlane to tuck away its subtasks.

Definition of Done

Open the Definition of Done checklist on a parent issue to track its completion criteria. Use bulk mode to apply a Definition of Done to several issues at once. See Using Definition of Done Templates.
