Task board represents the different tasks available in the sprint and grouped by backlog item and/or defect. Each task is associated or categorized by task status. Taskboard is used during the team's daily meeting to get a quick progress of the overall work within the team's sprint. A user can track the progress by moving tasks to a different status.

To access Taskboard, from the main menu, select Team Planner → Taskboard.
