We built monday.com with a mission: to give everyone tremendous powers to manage their teams, projects and workflows. With monday.com, you can build any app or tool you want for any need – from project management, CRM, production planning, HR, or anything else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You and your teams can create whatever tools they need within monday.com – but I have a special place in my heart for a certain board setup – a basic, simple board that takes literally 5 minutes to create.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

monday.com can scale from a two-person team to thousands, but let\u2019s start with a board for a single team.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will create transparency, a sense of time and cadence, ownership, and a shared team language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It will change your life and your team\u2019s life if you\u2019re not working this way already. Don\u2019t believe me? Try it out<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our simplest and most powerful board setup<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our first goal is to use a board to manage our projects and workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all worked on teams where it\u2019s unclear who is working on what – and how everyone\u2019s work fits into your team\u2019s goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the board. It looks something like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

You can build whatever you need based on this simple set up. Choose from 35 different column types\u200a\u2014like those based on time, teams, locations, actions or statuses to create a board that works for your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some that I find particularly useful:<\/span><\/p>\n
