However, a growing number of people use online task boards instead of physical ones. This is a simple, yet powerful method, that helps to complete all tasks on time, reduce waste and achieve better results. Sticky notes or index cards are placed in columns reflecting current status of work. The basic form of a task board is a physical board, that can be drawn anywhere, but most often occurs on a whiteboard. A task board is perfect for individuals, teams and any type of organizations that want to benefit from workflow visualization.

It can be used for visual task management and workflow coordination in event companies, marketing and interactive agencies or sales departments. Although it is at the heart of Scrum and is typically used by software development teams, it can be successfully applied to other businesses, as well as used for improving personal productivity. It helps team members to see their progress at a glance, and to become more collaborative by naturally reducing the tendency to create piles of work. The board allows to improve workflow visibility and ensures efficient diffusion of information relevant to the whole team. Its simplicity and flexibility are most frequently cited reasons for choosing and implementing task boards by companies in different industries. A task board is considered to be one of the most successful tools for teamwork.
