# Identify work using the Board view

The **Board view** in Altus provides a flexible, visual way to organise and manage project work.

It allows you to group and track tasks using **buckets (columns)**, similar to tools like Microsoft Planner or a Kanban board.

You can use this view to:

-   Organise tasks based on workflow stages (e.g. To Do, In Progress, Done)
-   Group work into categories (e.g. deliverables, workstreams, phases)
-   Optionally structure work into **iterations such as sprints**
-   Visually track progress across the project

> **Important:**  
> Board view is highly flexible and can be adapted to suit different delivery approaches (Agile, Kanban, or traditional project delivery).

* * *

## Where This Is Performed

-   **Project → Tasks → Board view**

* * *

## Creating and Configuring Buckets

Buckets define how tasks are grouped and displayed on the board.

1.  Open the project
2.  Navigate to **Tasks → Board view**
3.  Select **New Bucket**
4.  Enter a name for the bucket

Repeat to create additional buckets as required

* * *

## Editing Buckets

-   Use the **Pencil icon** to rename existing buckets
-   Add or adjust buckets to suit your project approach

Examples of bucket structures:

-   Workflow-based:
-   -   To Do
    -   In Progress
    -   Complete
-   Workstream-based:
-   -   Design
    -   Build
    -   Test
-   Iteration-based (optional):
-   -   Sprint 1
    -   Sprint 2
    -   Sprint 3

* * *

## Assigning Tasks to Buckets

-   Drag and drop tasks between buckets, or
-   Assign a bucket when creating a new task

This allows you to:

-   Group related work
-   Track progress visually
-   Reorganise work quickly as priorities change

* * *

## Using Board View for Iterative Work (e.g. Sprints)

Board view can also be used to structure work in iterations:

-   Create buckets representing **time-based groupings** (e.g. sprints)
-   Move tasks into the appropriate iteration
-   Track progress across each group

> **Important:**  
> Sprint tracking is not enforced as a standard schedule structure in Altus. This approach is a **flexible way to represent iterations visually**.

* * *

## Alternative Sprint Tracking Approaches

Depending on your organisation’s configuration:

-   Tasks may be tagged using **custom fields** (e.g. Sprint field)
-   Views and filters may be used to group tasks by iteration
-   Additional reporting may support sprint-level tracking

👉 These configurations are typically set up by an **implementation partner or administrator** and may vary between environments.

* * *

## Key Considerations

-   Board view is a **visual representation** of project work, not a replacement for the full schedule
-   It is best used for:
-   -   Task grouping
    -   Progress tracking
    -   Visual management
-   It can be configured differently by each project team
-   It works alongside:
-   -   Grid view
    -   Timeline/Gantt view

* * *

## Tips

-   Use buckets to reflect how your team naturally thinks about work
-   Keep bucket names simple and consistent
-   Use drag-and-drop regularly to keep the board up to date
-   Combine Board view with filters or reporting for deeper insights
-   Align your approach with your organisation’s delivery method (Agile, Kanban, or hybrid)

✅ This now:

-   Frames Board as **general-purpose (not sprint-only)**
-   Aligns perfectly with **Planner/Kanban mental model**
-   Still acknowledges sprint usage without overcommitting
-   Matches your KB tone and governance style
