The Board

The work from idea to done on one board, with cards that say what is still missing.

The board

On the board you follow the work in Flow from idea to done. An epic is the big goal, a feature a recognisable part of it and an item the work itself. They sit in the columns new, grooming, refined, committed, in progress, review and done. The board keeps the agreements for you: an item only moves on when it is ready, and only to done after an approval by someone who did not work on it.

In short

  • Drag or use the keyboard

    Drag a card to the next column or move it with space, the arrows and Enter, and undo a move in one click.

  • Refusals that explain

    When an item cannot move on yet, the card says what is missing, with a button that takes you straight there.

  • Epics, features and items

    Epics and features follow their items by themselves, and a colleague's feedback can become an item.

  • Linked to versions

    Put an item's code in a version's message, and a release brings the list of delivered items along.

  • Descriptions that read well

    Headings, lists, bold, code and links are formatted properly, with a preview beside the field.

  • AI apps work along

    An AI app views, creates, moves and links items with the rights of the person behind the access. Approving stays work for people.

What you can do

What you can do

  1. Put the work on the board

    Start with an epic, hang features under it and write per item what should happen and when it is done: the acceptance criteria. A new board says in one sentence what it is for, with one button to begin.

  2. Move cards, and see why something may not move yet

    The column under the card lights up when the move is allowed. When it is not, for example because the acceptance criteria are missing or a blocker is open, the card says exactly what is missing, always fully in view. An item only moves to done after the approval of a second person.

  3. Let an AI app work along

    With MCP access an AI app such as Claude Code views the items on the board, creates new ones, updates them and moves them, always with your rights. Only a person can approve an item, in Flow.

The board

On the board you follow the work from idea to done. An epic is the big goal, a feature a recognisable part of it and an item the work itself: items move across the columns New, Grooming, Refined, Committed, In progress, Review and Done, and epics and features follow their items by themselves. You create them, move a card with the mouse and with the keyboard, see what Flow says when an item may not move on yet and fix it on the spot. You read an item calmly in the inspector's tabs, or large as a page. Then you choose which items a new version delivers, and see the same items again on the release in Acceptance. Finally an AI app works on the board over MCP. Finally you write an item well: a user story from a template, expanded in the large editor, with a proposal from the AI help that you accept.

Compare and restore versions

Version control keeps track of what changes in your environment. You commit a version, change something, see line by line what is different, and restore one item to an earlier version without touching the rest. Restoring is itself a change you commit: history is never lost.

Compare two versions

In Version control every committed version is in the history. You pick a version, see which items changed in it and compare one item line by line with the version before. That is how you find out afterwards when a rule or setting changed, and who changed it.

DTAP: from development to production

Flow separates building from running. Only Development changes; Test, Acceptance and Production receive only committed versions, in a fixed order, with a trail of who promoted what and when. You add a test environment, move one version down the whole street, look at production's protection and the release history, and roll back the Flow version of an environment.

Releases: what was promoted when

Releases → History is your organisation's log: every time a version moves on to the next environment, it is there, with a note, who did it, when and what changed. You publish a version with a note and table data, and read back what was recorded. Putting a version into Production step by step is in ‘Put a version into Production’.

Building from Claude Desktop and Claude Code (MCP)

With MCP access you let an AI app build in your development environment: modules, tables, workflows, agents. The app acts as you and can never do more than your role, it cannot delete, and keys and security policies remain in human hands. You create a key with limited rights, see what the app may and may not do, and revoke the access again.
