Use subgroups in Board view

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.

You can try different combinations of fields to see your data in a new way. 

Rearrange columns and rows

Once you select both fields, you can rearrange your columns and rows to get a different perspective. The selected field will have a checkmark next to it. The field selected in one menu will be grayed out in the other menu.
