Understanding DevStride Board Views

DevStride Boards offer three distinct views to manage and visualize work items: Status View, Table View, and 2D View. Each view has its unique benefits and capabilities, designed to cater to various project management needs.

Status View

Benefits:

• Visual Workflow: Allows users to visualize the workflow with work items displayed as cards across different columns, each representing a stage of the process.
• Drag-and-Drop: Easily move work items between stages with a simple drag-and-drop action, facilitating swift status updates.

Capabilities:

• Custom Columns: Customize columns to match your team's workflow stages.
• Progress Tracking: Monitor the progress of each item as it moves from one stage to the next.

Table View

Benefits:

• Detailed Overview: Get a detailed list view of all work items with key information displayed in a tabular format.
• Easy Sorting and Filtering: Sort by different criteria and apply filters for a streamlined view of specific items or tasks.

Capabilities:

• Column Customization: Choose which columns to display for tailored information visibility.
• Bulk Actions: Perform actions on multiple items at once, such as updating status or reassigning tasks.

2D View

Benefits:

• Multidimensional Analysis: View work items on two axes, such as by status and assignee, to identify distribution and balance of work.
• Gap Identification: Easily spot any disparities or workload imbalances among team members or stages.

Capabilities:

• Flexible Axes Selection: Select which fields to use on the x and y axes to analyze the data from different perspectives.
• Comprehensive Insight: Offers a birds-eye view of the project's status and team workload, all in one screen.

Each view serves a unique purpose in project management:

• Use the Status View for a clear visual representation of the project's workflow.
• Opt for the Table View when you need to manage the details of multiple items simultaneously.
• The 2D View is ideal for analyzing workload distribution and project status at a glance.
