Task Boards
Share ideas, organize tasks, and collaborate in real-time with anyone, anywhere.

Organize any project, large or small, with a custom layout
and as
many cards as you need to capture all your ideas and tasks
You can keep start off simple
Task Boards can be as simple or as complex as you need: you could start with a simple "To Do" list like this one for updating a company website...
And scale up as needed
Here's an example of a more complex workflow, in this case a distributed software team:
Cards can contain ideas or work items
Inside each card on a Task Board you can capture your ideas and specific work items, large or small.
Cards can also be linked to each other, or to other boards.
Cards can contain tasks
You can add tasks to each card, to track all the little things (and big things) that need to get done before that card can be considered "done".
Each task can be assigned to any Team Member — or several Team Members — and each task can be scheduled separately.
Kerika makes sure that dates and assignments are rolled up to the card level, so when you look at a board you can easily see when the card is really due, and everyone working on every task on that card.
Cards can contain chat
You can chat about your ideas or tasks, right on the card itself.
These conversations can get pushed to you as emails, if you like, and they remain forever connected to the card making it easy to retrieve even months after a board has finished.
Cards can contain content
You can attach content to every card on a Task Board:
- From your laptop: files are shared automatically with everyone on your board team.
- From your Intranet, even a SharePoint site.
- From anywhere on the Web, including videos, blogs, pictures, etc.
It's easy to see the history of a card
Task Boards can be private, or shared
Every board can be kept private, or shared with others.
Each board can have several Board Admins, and these can then invite others to join as Team Members or Visitors.
Tags make it easy to manage large boards
Tags and color coding makes it easy to filter your view of large boards: we have seen some large teams work with boards that contain over a thousand cards at a time!
You can customize your workflow
Every Task Board can have its own custom workflow, and if you want to capture your organizations best practices or standard methodologies, that's super-easy with Kerika's Templates feature.
Every user can create a personal library of process templates that can be used to start new boards faster.
Switch between Kanban and Scrum, if you like
If you want to switch your board from Kanban mode to Scrum, all it takes is a single mouse click: use the Board Settings button to change your Kanban board into a Scrum Board, and choose the Backlog that you want to use.
And, as you can see, you can also easily switch from Scrum to Kanban, and back again, with a single mouse-click!
Learn more about switching between Kanban and Scrum, and other Board Settings.
Process templates
Templates can include both workflow (the set of columns that make up a Task Board, representing the steps or phases of the project), and cards (the tasks for the project).
Every user can build as many templates as they like, and share them with others or keep them private.
Here, for example, is a template that can be used to use Google's Design Sprints. (It's one of the many templates that Kerika provides: we keep adding to our collection, to make it easier for our users to get work done faster!)
Synch up with your Calendar
Kerika makes it super-easy to have all your Due Dates appear in your Apple, Microsoft, or Google Calendar.
(Here's an example of how you can synch up with your Google Calendar.)
