API Development Board

API Development Kanban Board Template for Engineering Teams

Engineering

Ship well-designed, tested, and documented API endpoints with a Kanban board built specifically for backend and API teams. This template tracks each endpoint from initial backlog idea through schema design, implementation, testing, and final documentation before it ships to production. Built for use with the MCP server, an AI agent can automatically move tasks between columns as code is committed, tests pass, and docs are published—keeping your board accurate without manual updates. Whether you're building a small REST API or scaling a public API surface, this board gives your team clear visibility into what's designed, what's in progress, and what still needs docs.

Bug Triage Board

Bug Triage Board: Sort Defects by Severity, Owner, and Fix Status

Engineering

Engineering teams drowning in incoming bug reports need a fast, structured way to separate P0 fires from low-priority polish items. This Bug Triage Board template uses five clear columns - Incoming, Triaged, In Progress, Fixed - Awaiting Verify, and Closed - to move defects through a predictable pipeline from first report to verified fix. Built on Kanboard's kanban board with MCP server support, the board lets both humans and AI agents create, update, and move bug tasks programmatically, tagging severity (P0-P3) and owner directly in task descriptions. Because the free plan caps you at 1 project and 25 tasks, this template is designed to stay lean: verified fixes get pruned from Closed regularly so the board never becomes bloated. Teams handling higher bug volume or running multiple product lines can upgrade to Pro for $12/mo or $96/yr to unlock more projects. Whether you're a solo developer triaging your own reports or a team coordinating fixes across owners, this board gives you a concrete starting point you can adopt today.

Code Review Board

Track every pull request from open to merged

Engineering

The Code Review Board gives engineering teams a clear, four-column view of pull request status: what's waiting on a reviewer, what needs changes, what's approved, and what's already merged. Instead of scanning a crowded PR list on your git host, your team (and any connected coding agent) can see at a glance where every review stands. Built for use with the MCP server, this board lets agents create tasks the moment a PR opens and move them through review automatically, while human reviewers use the kanban board, keyboard shortcuts, or command palette to triage quickly. It's a lightweight companion to your existing git workflow, not a replacement for the diff itself.

Incident Response Board

Track incidents from first alert to postmortem in one live board

Engineering

The Incident Response Board gives engineering teams a single place to manage the full lifecycle of a production incident: intake, diagnosis, mitigation, monitoring, and resolution with follow-ups. Instead of scattering updates across chat threads and docs, every incident becomes one task that moves through five clear columns as work progresses. Paired with the MCP server, an AI on-call agent can file new incidents the moment an alert fires, move tasks as investigation and mitigation happen, and log root-cause notes directly on the task, so the board stays accurate in real time without manual busywork. Use it standalone via the kanban board with keyboard shortcuts and command palette, or drive it programmatically through the REST API or MCP tools.

Mobile App Launch Board

Coordinate every team around a single mobile app launch date

Engineering

Shipping a mobile app release means syncing engineering, QA, design, and marketing on one timeline. The Mobile App Launch Board gives every team a shared kanban board to track build readiness, store submission status, and go-to-market tasks in one place. Instead of scattered spreadsheets and Slack threads, each task moves through clear columns so anyone can see what's blocking launch at a glance. Use the MCP server or REST API to keep the board in sync with your CI pipeline, or manage it directly from the macOS app with keyboard shortcuts and the command palette for fast triage during launch week.

Open Source Maintenance Board

Triage issues, queue patches, and ship releases without losing track

Engineering

Open source maintainers juggle incoming bug reports, community pull requests, security patches, and release cadences, often across scattered GitHub threads. The Open Source Maintenance Board gives you a focused Kanban board with four columns that mirror a real patch lifecycle: Triage, Patch Queue, In Progress, and Released. Pair it with an AI agent connected via the MCP server, and you can ask in plain language to create tasks for new issues, move confirmed bugs into the patch queue, or check what's ready to release — all backed by REST API access and the same board you'd manage manually. Built for solo maintainers and small core teams who want repo upkeep to feel less like inbox triage and more like a controlled pipeline.

Refactoring Project Board

Refactoring Project Board: Ship Large Refactors in Safe Milestones

Engineering

Large refactors fail when they're tackled as one giant branch. This Refactoring Project Board template breaks the work into Backlog, Scoped, In Progress, In Review, and Merged columns so every code change stays small, reviewable, and reversible. Use it directly on the kanban board, or let an AI agent drive it through the MCP server to create tasks, scope acceptance criteria, and move milestones forward as branches open and PRs get approved. Built for engineering teams who need visibility into refactor progress without blocking feature work.

Release Checklist Board

Release Checklist Board: Ship Software Safely, Every Time

Engineering

Shipping a release is more than writing code; it's coordinating branch freezes, regression tests, sign-offs, and post-launch monitoring without letting anything slip through the cracks. The Release Checklist Board Kanban Template gives engineering teams a ready-made board with columns for freezing scope, running QA, collecting sign-offs, shipping, and watching the aftermath. Each column comes pre-loaded with specific sample tasks so you're not staring at a blank board, and the whole structure is designed to work with an AI agent through the MCP server, letting you automate task creation and movement as your release progresses.

Sprint Planning Board

Sprint Planning Board: Kanban Template for Engineering Teams

Engineering

Planning a sprint shouldn't mean scattered spreadsheets and forgotten commitments. This Sprint Planning Board Kanban Template gives engineering teams a clear five-column workflow, from raw Backlog ideas through Sprint Ready commitments, active In Progress work, In Review checks, and a tracked Done column. Each column ships with realistic sample tasks so you can see exactly how work should flow, and the whole board is designed to work with Kanboard's MCP server so an AI agent can help triage backlog items, move tasks as work completes, and keep your sprint honest without manual busywork.

Tech Debt Board

Tech Debt Board: Stop Losing Cleanup Work to Slack Threads

Engineering

Every engineering team accumulates tech debt — the deprecated library nobody's swapped out, the flaky test everyone ignores, the 1,400-line class that needs splitting. The problem isn't spotting debt, it's tracking it. This Tech Debt Board gives you a dedicated kanban board with four columns — Backlog, Triaged, In Progress, and Resolved — so shortcuts and cleanup work get logged the moment they're found instead of forgotten in code comments. It's built to work equally well for human engineers and AI coding agents: connect via the MCP server so an agent can call create_task the instant it notices debt while working, then use move_task and update_task to keep the board current as items get triaged, worked, and resolved.

AI Agents

8 templates

Agent Backlog Board

A ready-to-use Kanban board for coordinating AI agent prompts and follow-ups

AI Agents

Agent teams juggling prompts, in-flight tasks, and blocked work need a shared source of truth. This Agent Backlog Board template gives your AI agents a simple kanban board with four columns to track incoming prompts, active work, blockers, and completed tasks. Built for use with the MCP server, it lets agents call tools like create_task, move_task, and list_tasks to keep the board current without manual busywork, so your team always knows what's next and what's stuck.

Agent QA Verification Board

Agent QA Verification Board: Catch Bad AI Output Before It Ships

AI Agents

Verifying that an AI agent's output actually matches product requirements and quality standards is hard to do consistently without a system. This Agent QA Verification Board gives your team and your AI agents a shared kanban board to track every generated output from submission through spec check, quality bar review, and final approval or rejection. Built for use with the MCP server and REST API, it lets a QA agent move tasks, log findings, and keep a clear audit trail—so nothing gets approved that hasn't actually been checked.

AI Feature Pipeline Board

Track AI features from idea to launch on one Kanban board

AI Agents

The AI Feature Pipeline Board gives product and engineering teams a structured way to move AI-powered features from early concept through prototyping, evaluation, and launch. Built on a five-column kanban board, it keeps every AI feature visible as it advances through technical spikes and testing. Manage it manually or let AI agents update tasks automatically through the MCP server and REST API, so your team always has an accurate view of what's being explored, tested, and shipped.

Autonomous Coding Loop Board

Give your coding agent a self-managed plan-code-evaluate-fix loop

AI Agents

Autonomous coding agents need more than a to-do list — they need a structured loop that mirrors real software development: plan the approach, write the code, evaluate the result, and fix what breaks. This Kanban Template gives your agent six columns (Backlog, Planning, Coding, Evaluating, Fix Needed, Done) mapped directly to MCP tool calls like move_task and update_task, so the agent can drive its own workflow while you retain full visibility on the board. It works on the free plan out of the box and scales with your team as you add more automated or human-reviewed tasks.

Codebase Migration Board

Coordinate large repo migrations with an AI-assisted Kanban board

AI Agents

Migrating a large codebase to a new framework, monorepo, or language version is risky when tracked in scattered docs and chat threads. This template gives engineering teams and their AI agents a single kanban board to plan the migration, run compatibility checks, and manage rollout. Tasks move through columns that mirror a real migration lifecycle, from inventorying legacy modules to verifying production parity. Because the board is exposed over the MCP server and REST API, coding agents can create tasks, update status, and move cards automatically as they complete migration steps, while humans review progress from the command palette or macOS app without losing context.

Multi-Agent Orchestration Board

Coordinate AI Agent Handoffs with a Shared Kanban Board

AI Agents

Multi-agent systems fail most often at the handoff, not the task itself. This Multi-Agent Orchestration Board template gives every agent in your pipeline a shared source of truth: a kanban board where tasks move through Backlog, Assigned, In Progress, Handoff Review, and Done. Agents use Kanboard's MCP server to list, claim, update, and move tasks, logging the context each next agent needs directly in task descriptions. This template is built for teams running research agents, support triage agents, data enrichment agents, or any pipeline where work passes between multiple autonomous or semi-autonomous agents and needs a clear audit trail.

PR Review Queue Board

Track pull requests from open to merged with an agent-ready review queue

AI Agents

The PR Review Queue Board gives engineering teams and AI reviewer agents a clear, shared view of every pull request's status. Instead of scanning multiple repos or chat threads, reviewers work through a single kanban board with columns for triage, active review, requested changes, approval, and merge. Because the board is exposed through Kanboard's MCP server, an agent can list incoming PRs, pull task details, and move tasks between columns automatically, while human reviewers use the same board through the web app or macOS app. This template is preloaded with realistic sample tasks so you can see exactly how a review queue should flow from the moment a PR opens to the moment it merges.

Prompt Iteration Board

Prompt Iteration Board: Refine, Compare, and Lock In Winning Prompts

AI Agents

Prompt engineering is iterative by nature—you draft a prompt, test it, tweak it, and compare outputs before committing to a final version. The Prompt Iteration Board gives AI teams a structured kanban board to track every prompt variant from idea to production. Instead of losing versions in chat logs or scattered docs, each prompt becomes a task that moves through drafting, testing, comparison, and approval columns. Pair it with the MCP server so your AI agent can create tasks, update statuses, and move prompts through the pipeline automatically as it runs experiments. Whether you're tuning a single system prompt or managing dozens of variants across use cases, this board keeps the process visible and auditable.

Beta Testing Board

Beta Testing Board: Track Testers, Bugs, and Release Readiness

Product Startups

Running a beta program means juggling tester onboarding, incoming bug reports, feature feedback, and the final call on what ships. This Beta Testing Board template gives you a ready-made kanban board with columns built specifically for that workflow: from Tester Backlog through Feedback Triage, In Progress, Verification, and Released. Each column comes preloaded with realistic sample tasks so your team or your AI agent can start organizing feedback immediately instead of designing a board from scratch. Because it's built on the same kanban board, MCP server, and REST API used across the platform, you can manage it manually, through keyboard shortcuts and the command palette in the macOS app, or hand it off to an agent that files and moves tasks automatically as testers report issues and fixes get verified.

Customer Feedback Board

Turn scattered customer feedback into a prioritized action board

Product Startups

Customer feedback arrives everywhere—support tickets, sales calls, app store reviews, social mentions—and most of it never turns into action. The Customer Feedback Board gives product and support teams a single kanban board to capture every request, tag it by theme, and move it from raw input to shipped follow-up. Instead of a spreadsheet nobody updates, you get columns that mirror how feedback actually gets triaged: new submissions land first, then get grouped into themes, then get scheduled as real tasks, and finally get closed out with a note back to the customer. Because the board runs on the same MCP server and REST API as the rest of your workflow, an AI agent can log incoming feedback as tasks automatically, cluster duplicates, and nudge you when a themed pile of requests is big enough to justify a roadmap item.

MVP Build Board

Focus your tiny product team on the few tasks that actually ship the MVP

Product Startups

Early-stage teams drown in ideas but ship on execution. The MVP Build Board is a lean kanban board built for founders and small product teams who need to cut scope ruthlessly and track only what moves the launch forward. Instead of a sprawling backlog, this board forces a small, visible set of tasks across five columns so everyone knows what's next, what's blocked, and what's actually done. Pair it with the MCP server to let an AI agent triage new ideas, move tasks as work progresses, and keep the board honest without manual upkeep.

Pricing Experiment Board

Run Structured Pricing Experiments From Idea to Decision

Product Startups

The Pricing Experiment Board gives product and growth teams a repeatable kanban workflow for testing pricing changes. Instead of scattering hypotheses across docs and spreadsheets, every experiment moves through four clear stages: Backlog, Testing, Learnings, and Decisions. Each task captures the hypothesis, the live test details, the measured outcome, and the final call, so nothing gets lost between a pricing idea and a shipped decision. Whether you're testing discount tiers, usage-based add-ons, or new plan limits, this board keeps your team aligned and gives an AI agent a clear structure to help manage tasks via the MCP server.

Product Launch Board

Ship your next release without dropping a single launch task

Product Startups

Launching a product means juggling copy, QA, press, and support all at once, and it's easy for a critical task to fall through the cracks in a messy doc or chat thread. This Product Launch Board template gives you a kanban board with five purpose-built columns, Prep, In Progress, Review, Launch Day, and Post-Launch, so every task from writing the pricing page to running the post-mortem stays visible from the first planning meeting through cleanup. Each column ships with real sample tasks you can edit immediately, and the whole board works with keyboard shortcuts, the command palette, and the MCP server so an AI agent can help manage it alongside your team.

Product Roadmap Board

Turn Roadmap Themes Into Shipped Features

Product Startups

The Product Roadmap Board template gives product teams a clear path from raw ideas to shipped features. Instead of scattered docs and stale slide decks, every roadmap theme becomes a concrete task that moves through five columns: Themes & Ideas, Planned, In Progress, In Review, and Shipped. Use the kanban board to prioritize themes, track engineering and design progress, and give stakeholders visibility into what's landing next. Connect an AI agent through the MCP server to automatically capture new theme requests, advance tasks as work progresses, and keep milestone reviews on schedule—so your roadmap stays a living plan instead of a static document.

User Research Board
