Let’s get practical and build a board from start to finish. It only takes a few minutes.

The steps

1. Click “Create board” and give it a clear name.
2. Add your first lists — keep it simple with “To do”, “In progress” and “Done”.
3. Create cards in “To do”, one per task.
4. Drag a card into “In progress” as soon as you start working on it.

Good habits

• A card title should describe an action (e.g. “Write the home page”).
• Pick a background or a colour so you recognise the board at a glance.

Key takeaway: start small with three lists. You will refine the structure once the project is under way.
