Boards

Use boards to move work through the states your team has mapped to columns. The Stories board shows Stories and Bugs. The Features board shows Features. The Epics board shows Epics.

The addresses are /p/:key/boards/stories, /p/:key/boards/features, and /p/:key/boards/epics.

See a board

Choose Stories, Features, or Epics from the board level control. Each board has its own columns and card settings. The Features board can also group cards into one lane per Epic.

Move a card

Drag a card to another column to change its state. Drop it on a card to place it above that card.

To move a card without a mouse, focus it and press Alt+Arrow in the direction you want to move. The card keeps focus after it moves. Left and right move it to the next column or split half. Up and down change its position in the same cell.

Group Features by Epic

On the Features board, choose By Epic in the Lanes control. Choose None to show one set of columns. The lane choice is saved for your account.

Open child work from a roll-up

Feature cards can show roll-ups for their Stories and Bugs. Epic cards can show roll-ups for their Features. Select a roll-up to open the child list, then select a child to open it.

Confirm work before marking it done

When you move a Feature with unfinished child work into a Done column, ShipLean opens a confirmation with the children that are not done. Review the list, then confirm the move or cancel it. This check does not appear when no child work is unfinished.
