Core concepts
Three things on the board: Projects, Sprints,
and Todo.
Project
│
├── Sprint ←── name, goal, project
│ ├── task
│ └── task
│
└── Todo ←── on the project, no sprint
- A sprint holds the tasks you're working on now.
- A todo is a task with no sprint — same row, just looser.
- Drop a todo into a sprint and it becomes a task. Clear the sprint and it's a todo again.
Projects
A project is a colored bucket. Just a name and a color.
- Create — open the Projects modal from the filter bar, pick a color, type a name, hit ADD.
- Filter — click any project pill to show only its sprints and todos. Click All to see everything. Your choice is remembered.
Sprints
A time-box with a goal and a list of tasks inside.
- Create — type a name (or leave blank for "Sprint N"), optionally pick a project, click Create.
- Add tasks — type in the + New task row inside the sprint and press Enter.
- Tick — click the checkbox to mark a task done. The progress bar updates as you go.
- Edit — click the pencil on the sprint card for name/goal/project. Click a task name to open its modal.
- Archive — click the archive icon. The sprint and all its tasks go to the Archive together.
Tasks follow their sprint. To archive a single task on its own, clear its sprint
(it becomes a todo) and archive it from the Todo section.
Todo
A task with no sprint, sitting on a project.
- Create — in the Todo section, type a name, pick a project, click Create.
- Archive / restore — the archive icon on each row sends it to the Archive; restore brings it back.
- Promote — open a todo and pick a sprint. It becomes a task; the modal title flips from Todo to Task.
Archive
Where finished sprints and todos live. Click the header to expand.
- Restore — sends an item back to the active board.
- Delete permanently — removes it for good.
Nothing moves here unless you archive it. Nothing is deleted unless you hit the trash.

Sprints and todos belong to a project. Filter by project to see only its work.
