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.

Note: You cannot add issues or pull requests from other repositories to an existing project board. For example, if you have a project board on a repository called github/octocat, you can't add an issue from the repository github/octodog to your project board on the github/octocat repository.

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."
