Board templates

Templates are column presets with a recommended flow. Pick one when you create a board, and the columns come pre-configured.

Built-in templates

Start, Stop, Continue

Best for: end-of-sprint retros, fast-moving teams.

Three columns — what should we start doing, what should we stop doing, and what’s working well that we should continue. The action-oriented framing makes this the quickest format to run.

What went well · What to improve · Actions

Best for: quarterly reviews, team health checks.

A more reflective format. The Actions column captures explicit commitments rather than letting them emerge implicitly from discussion.

Custom templates

On the Team and Enterprise plans you can create custom templates scoped to your organization. From the Dashboard, click the Templates button in the top toolbar to open the Manage Templates dialog.

Give the template a name

And an optional description — this is what teammates see in the New Board dialog.

Add columns

Between 1 and 8. Set a title and pick a color for each.

Save

Your template now shows up in the New Board dialog under "Organization Templates" for everyone in the workspace.

Editing a template updates the preset but does not change cards on existing boards — each board keeps the columns it was created with.

Column colors Built-in templates cycle through teal, amber, and slate accents automatically. Custom templates let you pick a color per column. The color is cosmetic — it helps the eye track cards across the board.
