The Boards dashboard is a project management tool helping define, organize, track and manage work across teams.

The newest comments are now sorted at the top to find the most recent comment easily. Boards are a fresh new feature and are still in the experimental phase. Read more.
Playbooks
Playbooks are pre-built, configurable checklists that orchestrate workflows for teams to achieve specific and predictable outcomes. With Playbooks, you can stay in command with integrated communication, collaboration, and status dashboards to manage the entire workflow lifecycle. Now, Playbooks are translatable with various languages in-progress. All in-channel notifications are removed, with high-value notifications delivered via direct message from the Playbooks Bot to reduce channel noise. Playbooks are a fresh new feature and are still in the experimental phase. Read more.
