Course Creation Board

Plan, produce, and launch your online course without missing a deadline

Building a course means juggling curriculum design, scripting, filming, editing, and launch marketing all at once. The Course Creation Board gives solo creators and small teams a single kanban board to track every lesson from idea to published asset. Instead of scattered docs and spreadsheets, you get columns that mirror the real production pipeline, tasks you can assign and move with the MCP server or REST API, and a structure that scales from a single mini-course to a full multi-module program. Use the macOS app or command palette to jump between lessons quickly, and keep momentum with a board built specifically for shipping courses on schedule.

How to run this board

Step 1

Add every lesson and module idea to Curriculum Backlog as soon as it's conceived.

Step 2

Move tasks into Scripting & Slides once you're ready to write and build supporting materials.

Step 3

Shift lessons to Filming & Recording when scripts are locked and a recording slot is booked.

Step 4

Advance footage to Editing & Production, then to Ready to Publish once QA is complete.

Step 5

Use move_task via the MCP server or REST API to keep lesson status in sync across tools.

AI agent usage

Run it with AI agents

Open MCP setup

This playbook lets an AI agent manage a course production pipeline end-to-end: creating lesson tasks in Curriculum Backlog, advancing them through Scripting & Slides, Filming & Recording, and Editing & Production, and confirming readiness in Ready to Publish, all via the Kanboard MCP server.

## Course Creation Board
Columns: Curriculum Backlog, Scripting & Slides, Filming & Recording, Editing & Production, Ready to Publish.
When asked to add a lesson, use create_task in Curriculum Backlog. When a script is done, move_task to Scripting & Slides -> Filming & Recording. Use list_tasks to check column status before moving tasks, and update_task to add notes on reshoots or edits needed.
Add a new task in Curriculum Backlog for outlining Module 5: Advanced Automation.
Move Lesson 2.1 from Filming & Recording to Editing & Production and add a note about the audio fix.
List all tasks currently in Ready to Publish so I can review what's left before launch.

Frequently asked questions

How many lessons can I track on the free plan?

The free plan supports 1 project with up to 25 tasks total, which covers a solo course launch. If you need more lessons or modules, upgrading to pro removes that limit.

Can multiple people manage the course board at once?

Yes, you can invite collaborators to the same project and use columns like Filming & Recording to coordinate who owns each production stage.

Does this board integrate with automation tools?

Yes, the board works through the MCP server and REST API, so you can connect an AI agent or custom script to create, move, and update tasks programmatically.

Can I use this on macOS?

Yes, the macOS app gives you native access to this board, and keyboard shortcuts plus the command palette make it fast to jump between lessons.

What happens if I exceed the 25-task limit on the free plan?

You'll need to either archive completed lessons or upgrade to the pro plan ($12/mo or $96/yr) to unlock unlimited tasks across projects.

Can I customize the columns for a different course format?

Yes, columns can be renamed or reordered to fit your workflow, such as adding a dedicated Marketing column if your launch needs one.
