Many project tracking taskboards look like they were imposed on the team. They are monochromatic, small and rarely providing too much useful information. A clear and informative taskboard is the heart of a successful team. It keeps everyone focused, radiates loads of information useful on many occasions.

This video explains how a well-built physical taskboard is way better than any software tool – if the team is at least a little bit co-located that is. It also provides some visual tricks and explains how they can help your team. A trivial example is using a red post-it instead of a yellow to mark a bug to be fixed. This makes every bug stand out and allows the team to focus on getting it fixed.
