Example Output
Board Optimization Recommendation
Current State: Your board has 12 status columns with unclear handoff points and manual duplicate entry in 3 places.
Recommended Structure:
Backlog → Design → Dev (Blocked/In Progress/Testing) → QA → Done
Key Automations:
- Move to "Testing" when code review linked
- Auto-notify QA lead when status changes to "Testing"
- Close sprint item on "Done" + move to Archive view
Timeline: 2-3 hours to reconfigure + train team
Sprint Template Configuration
- Default columns: Backlog, Sprint Planning, In Progress, Code Review, Testing, Done
- Pre-built views: Sprint Board, Burndown, Blocked Items, Capacity
- Automation rules (10 total) with detailed implementation steps
