Create a personal board
If you want to track your own tasks or see a specific set of tasks on a board, you can create a custom board that contains only those tasks that you are interested in.
- Choose a personal board template to create a board.
- Add multiple projects on it to track issues from different teams.
- Use state field for the columns on the board to have “open”, “in progress” columns.
- Set swimlanes by the due date to track and handle tasks so you never miss a deadline.
Manage multiple projects
Managing issues in multiple projects can be tricky, especially when each project team follows its own working process. Create a board and add the projects you work on in the board settings.
- Identify columns by values from the State field.
- Use swimlanes to identify issues of various types from different projects.
-
Issues from the projects that are managed on the board can be shown as cards.
For example, if your colleague changes the state of the card to “in progress” you will see it on your board.
Use personal dashboard
Get an overview of the current status of your tasks and monitor the progress of your team. In YouTrack you can add widgets that are available by default or add your own custom widgets.
- A report widget displays the calculation of a predefined report.
- The project team widget helps you quickly find the right person in the right team.
- The personal time tracking widget lets you be aware of how much time have you spent working on issues.
- The countdown widget tracks how much time is left until the event.
