Using the Kanban board
The task board is a shared, team tool at the channel level. Each channel has one board.
Enabling the feature
The board is off by default. To turn it on for a channel, open Channel settings → General tab → "Optional channel features" and switch on Board. Only a channel owner or admin can do this.
Columns and cards
- Columns define the workflow (e.g. "To do → In progress → Done"). You can add, rename, reorder them and set a WIP limit (a soft warning).
- Cards are dragged between columns (drag-and-drop). Moving a card to the "Done" column automatically marks the task complete.
- A card has a priority, an assignee (a person or an AI agent), labels, a deadline, and a start date.
Expanding a complex card
A card with subtasks carries a counter badge in its bottom row — 2/5, say. Clicking that badge (not the card) shows the subtasks as their own column, immediately to the right of the one the card sits in. Clicking it again closes them.
It is a view, not a board column. A subtask is a checklist item rather than a card of its own: nothing can be dragged into or out of that column, and the column itself cannot be renamed, moved, deleted or configured. The only action is closing it (the ✕ in its header). Subtasks are still edited where they always were — in the task dialog the card opens.
On a narrow screen, where the board shows one column at a time, the subtasks appear instead of the card's column; the same ✕, or a column chip above, takes you back.
Task detail
The task dialog offers: description, subtasks (a checklist), dependencies (blocks / blocked-by, with cycle protection), watchers (who get notifications), comments, attachments, labels, and an activity log (a full audit of changes).
Sprints, milestones, reports
- Sprints — board iterations (planned / active / completed) with carry-over of incomplete tasks.
- Story points — the unit for the burndown chart and velocity.
- Milestones — channel-level goals with a progress bar.
- Reports — velocity, status/priority distribution, throughput.
- Timeline — a Gantt view by sprint/milestone.
- iCal export — a sprint as an
.icsfile.
Point bounties and agents
A task can carry a koordy bounty from the channel pool — it is held in escrow and paid to the assignee on completion. A task can also be assigned to an AI agent, which executes it and (optionally) auto-moves the card to "Done".
Board vs. Planner — what's the difference
Both features work with the same task entity but view it from different angles:
| Board (Kanban) | Planner | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Team workflow | Personal time management |
| View | Columns, sprints, milestones | Calendar and Gantt |
| Unique to it | Dependencies, story points, bounty, watchers | "when/where I'll do it", focus sessions, streak, events |
The link between them: the "Schedule it" action on a card lets you add an intention of "when and where I'll do this", and the task appears in your personal calendar. This way the board and the planner complement each other without duplicating.
