Agile planning with GitHub Projects and Azure Boards

Project Boards

There are three different types of project boards:

  • User-owned project boards: contain issues and pull requests from any personal repository.
  • Organization-wide project boards: contain issues and pull requests from any repository that belongs to an organization.
  • Repository project boards: scoped to issues and pull requests within single repository.

You can use templates to quickly set up a new board:
