Creating a project board
Project boards can be used to create customized workflows to suit your needs, like tracking and prioritizing specific feature work, comprehensive roadmaps, or even release checklists.
In this article
You can use a project board template to create a project board with automation already configured. For more information, see "About project boards."
You can link up to five repositories to your organization or user-owned project board. Linking repositories makes it easier to add issues and pull requests from those repositories to your project board using Add cards. For more information, see "Linking a repository to a project board."
Once you've created your project board, you can add issues, pull requests, and notes to it. For more information, see "Adding issues and pull requests to a project board" and "Adding notes to a project board."
You can also configure workflow automations to keep your project board in sync with the status of issues and pull requests. For more information, see "About automation for project boards."
