In Board view, tasks are organized into columns based on one shared field like due date or assignee. You can use subgroups to organize tasks into rows based on a second field.
For example, project managers can organize by status and priority to create a high-level overview of their team's most important tasks.
Subgroups for Kanban boards can be organized by status columns and team rows. For engineering tasks, a roadmap can be created using timeline columns and squad rows.
