Using Design Stages​

Stages are used for:

  • Tracking design progress through your pipeline
  • Filtering projects by design status
  • Managing designer workload
  • Design timeline reporting
  • Displaying projects on boards configured to show design stages

Drop-Off for Completed Projects​

When projects reach a "Completed" design stage, they can be configured to drop off the board after a period of time. This is configured per board column (not per stage), allowing different design boards to have different drop-off settings.

See Board Configuration for configuration options.
