What this does
My Board is your personal view — every task where you're the owner or an assignee, laid out as a Kanban board by status. It's where you manage your own work day to day: see what's next, move tasks forward, and keep track of anything blocked. It only shows your work, not the whole team's — for that, see Team Board.
Before you begin
You need at least one task where you're the owner or an assignee for anything to appear here.
Moving a task
- Open My Board in the sidebar.
- Drag a task card to a new column, or open the task and change its status directly from the detail page.
BriefFlow only allows valid moves — for example, a task can't skip from Backlog straight to Ready for QA, and it can't enter In Progress until your understanding of it has been approved (see Understanding).
Marking a task blocked
- Move the task to the Blocked column (or open it and select the status control).
- Enter a short reason explaining what's stopping progress.
- Confirm.
That reason is visible to your manager and anyone else with access to the task, so blockers surface immediately instead of sitting silently.
What happens next
Moving a task's status is logged to its activity timeline immediately, and anyone else involved in the task (owner, other assignees) may be notified depending on the change — see Notifications.
Understanding gates
If a task's understanding needs your attention — nothing submitted yet, clarification requested, or the brief changed and your approval is now outdated — My Board surfaces that directly on the task card so it's never a status you have to go dig for.
Note
A card that won't move into In Progress isn't stuck — check its Understanding badge first.
Common issues
A task won't move to In Progress. Its understanding hasn't been approved yet. Open the task and check the Understanding section.
I don't see a task I know I'm assigned to. Confirm you're listed as an assignee (not just mentioned in a comment) — open the task detail page and check the Assignees field.
