Q&A from Best Practices for Building a Board - January 20th, 2022
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it easy to reposition lanes between not started - started - done? We have backlog in started for instance (inherited from long ago and never moved). Surely it impacts reporting purposes. | Answered live |
| Is there any way to create a template for cards? For example we created a lane named 'Templates' and use this lane to duplicate cards for our most commonly used stories or other types of cards. We created templates for the type of information that we want to capture in each card and this allows us to save some time when creating new cards. | Answered live |
