Empty board

A blank canvas to build your workflow from scratch — define columns, task types, and fields exactly the way your team works.

About this template

Start with a single "Default" column and design your system intentionally. This is ideal when your process doesn't match standard templates or when you want to build a workflow around your existing terminology.

Add columns step by step, create task types that make sense to your team, and introduce only the custom fields you truly need.

Tip: if you're unsure, start with the Default Board and customize — it's easier than rebuilding later.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose an empty board?

When you want full control and your workflow doesn't fit standard templates.

Can I "apply a template" later to an existing board?

You can recreate any structure manually, but there's no one-click "apply template" on top of an existing board — so start from a template if you already know you need one.

What's the best way to build a custom workflow?

Start with 3–5 columns, run it for a week, then add fields/columns only when you feel real pain.
