How many tasks have you got going in your project board?
How many of them are irrelevant? How many are already completed?
Everything that you don’t need, don’t use or don’t benefit from is only clogging up your projects. And for no reason at all! All you get is a messy project board packed to the brim.
If opening your project feels like peering into that one drawer where you throw all the stuff you’ve got no other place for, today’s tip is for you.
Archive your old tasks
Completing the task doesn’t remove it from your project view. Oftentimes, we just move these completed assignments to the Done tab and leave it there.
But there’s an easy way to deal with a pile of completed tasks stacked in your Done stage. Archive them all at once and clean up the project view instantly.
Create a backlog
Got a task you’re going to work on later in the future? Something you’ve paused for a better moment? Move it to the backlog to make sure it doesn’t clutter your more relevant to-do list.
Delete irrelevant tasks
Noting down everything you’d like to do isn’t a bad idea. However, some of these tasks that you once deemed important can lose their meaning over time. And yet, they sit on your to-do list or in your backlog.
Don’t hesitate to purge them on a regular basis by deleting everything that you no longer consider important and worth your time.
Create process-specific stages
Your project board doesn’t have to consist of only three stages. You can easily go beyond To Do, In Progress and Done. Create stages to reflect each step you need to take to complete your assignment.
You can check out an example of a process project in our blog post about content marketing framework.
Use project board filters
Located in the top bar of your project view, filters help you turn on and off some tasks in your view. Use them to filter your assignments by users, tags or deadlines.
