In Board view, tasks are organized into columns based on one shared field like due date or assignee.  You can use swimlanes 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.

Swimlanes 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.
