Made by Pixelmatters’ Product Team 💙🧡
The Jira Board template made especially for Design and Development projects will help get everyone on the same page every step of the way, from Managers to Product Owners to Engineers, Designers, and QA.
Every team has a unique process for shipping software, so these boards can easily be adapted depending on your project typology, team composition, and needs. Before creating your new board, gather your team, discuss the best methodology for the project, and get all the information you need.
<aside> 💡 This goodie focuses on Jira because it’s our project management tool of choice. Nevertheless, this board composition can be used with other tools, such as Trello, Asana, Airtable, and more. Duplicate it and start taking your projects to the next level.
