Tasks and Kanban boards

Tasks are the unit of execution inside a project. Sageon Business gives you a Kanban board, sprint planner and burndown — same data, three views.

Three views on the same task list

Board — Kanban columns (Backlog · To Do · In Progress · In Review · Done). Drag-and-drop between columns to update status.

Backlog — flat list, sortable by priority/story points/assignee. Useful for grooming.

Sprint — current sprint scope with story-point total. Move tasks in/out of sprint.

Roadmap — timeline view of epics with date bars.

Charts — Burndown, Story points by epic, Tasks by status (pie).

Filters

Top of board: Epic ▾, Assignee ▾, Priority ▾. Combine for any view.

Tips

  • Use epics to group tasks by feature/workstream, not by team. Teams should be in the Assignee.
  • Estimate in story points, not hours. Hours are unreliable; relative sizing is fast and consistent.
  • Move tasks to "Done" promptly. The Done column should clear weekly when you start the next sprint.
