Boards
Organize your projects with Kanban boards, customizable workflows, and team access controls.
Boards are your project workspaces in Spedy. Each board represents a project, a team, or any workstream you want to track. Inside a board, you'll find all of your tickets organized in a visual Kanban layout that makes it easy to see what's happening at a glance.
The Kanban View
When you open a board, you'll see your tickets laid out across columns. Each column represents a status in your workflow -- for example, "Backlog", "To Do", "In Progress", or "Done". To move a ticket forward, simply drag it from one column to the next. The change is saved automatically.
Every status column belongs to one of three categories that help Spedy understand where a ticket sits in its lifecycle:
| Category | What it means | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Work that hasn't started yet | Backlog, Triage |
| Active | Work that's currently in progress | To Do, In Progress, Blocked |
| Final | Work that's finished | Done, Cancelled |
You can customize the statuses and columns that appear on each board to match how your team actually works.
Creating a Board
To create a new board, click the New Board button in the sidebar. Give your board a name and a short prefix (for example, "ACME"). This prefix is used to generate readable ticket IDs like ACME-1, ACME-2, and so on -- making it easy to reference tickets in conversations or messages.
Editing and Archiving Boards
Open your board settings to rename the board, change its prefix, or adjust its workflow columns. If a project is finished or paused, you can archive the board to remove it from your active list without deleting any data. Archived boards can be restored at any time from the settings area.
Board Access Roles
Not everyone needs the same level of access to a board. Spedy provides three roles to control what each person can do:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Board Admin | Full control -- manage members, change settings, create and edit tickets |
| Board Member | Create, edit, and manage tickets on the board |
| Board Viewer | View tickets and board content in read-only mode |
You can add individual users to a board, or assign an entire team so that all team members automatically get access. Organization administrators always have access to every board.
Board Settings
From the board settings page, you can:
- Rename the board or update its prefix
- Manage which statuses and columns appear on the board
- Add or remove team members and set their roles
- Connect a wiki space for project documentation
- Archive or restore the board
